Chrome or Polished?

kcsoa22 · 04-15-2007, 11:22 PM

I am looking to purchase some 01 Bullitt wheels. I see "chrome" versions and "polished" versions. I can see the polished ones are less $$$ to buy but,

What are the differences in appearance's (which is shinier?) What about cleaning and maintance? Does one need to be buffed more often to stay shiny? Is one subject to pitting more than the other?

I assumed I wanted Chrome at first, but now I am not sure.

Thanks in advance for the help.[/align][/align]

I go with polished because chrome will pit and polished are lighter. Chrome is more shiny however I don't think it's worth the extra cash.

Polish if you have time on your hands to polish the wheels every few weeks. Chrome is best. Easy to clean and shiny. Don't get polish would be my advice.

Thanks for the advice, It probably is worth the extra coin on the chrome then.

my car has chrome cobra R's on her. its a 94 gt but i was able to buy the car with them on and i think the guy dident really know how much they were a piece so i say i got lucky. but the chromes do add a very nice touch to the car. just dont scrape them on anything!
