Polished Or Chrome?!!!!!!
Here is my pewter Camaro on both sets of wheels I have, chrome Z06's and Polished CCW's. Polished is definately a higher maintenance wheel but also makes a higher statement than chrome. If you know how to care for them properly I would go with the polished.

Chrome do you need to ask? Way better then polished, if you have the money buy chrome. People that say polished looks nicer just don't want to spend the money so they tell themselves that.
You do not use paper towels on chrome btw. Can scratch very easily.

chrome is the cheaper and easier wheel to maintain but you have to maintain it. let brake dust sit and it will eat away at any minor flaw in the chrome causing the wheel to peel and eventually look like hell. the upside to polished is that you can always polish the wheel to bring back the shine. once you let chrome go it's gone..

what rims did you have also. i have some cheaper polished wheels that are a pain. my bozes i've let go when i shouldn't and can't say enough about how nice and quick they clean up. the design of a wheel also plays into how hard they are to clean also.
if you take care of your car in all honesty either will be fine if you get good quality. polished is just more maintance because the metal is more porus where as the chrome is a much slicker surface. keep up on either and your good but if your lazy don't think twice and get chrome.

CHROME!!!!!!!
It may weigh a tiny bit more but you just freaking wipe them down, thats it. Polished lips are a pain in the ***, and I have 2 sets to keep up with. Still LOVE my wheels don't get me wrong and also nice if you ever get slight curb rash, they are easy fix but chrome you kinda screwed.
Peace,
