Chrome or high polished wheels?
Ive been looking at centerline stingray 3s and think I decided to go with the 18s instead of the 20s (am I crazy??) anyways the 18s polished are 200 bucks each but the chrome are 300 each, whats the real difference? Are polished harder to care for etc? not as durable? Anything else I should know when deciding between the 2?

wish i had chrome too.....let me tell you. I have polished billet swpecialties and in my opinion polished wheels look great when they are clean but they take a good hour or 2 to clean. (per wheel!!!) Polished wheels are great for your Sunday cruiser vehicle or hot rod but on a daily driver i would definitely go with chrome. Just my .02

chrome looks like *** when it cracks and flakes also if u dont take care of the brake dust it will mess then up, with polished u can fix mistakes easier.

CHROME, esp where you live at.. Aluminum is a pia, take it from somebody that knows.. It is alot of up keep vs chrome. If you get good quality wheels they will last a long long time..

Chrome is a lot easier to care for for but not good for anyone trying to make hp which includes just about everyone here. It's just too damn heavy. I don't regret getting rid of my chrome 20's at all. I really like my 18's. They are harder to keep up but polished looks better than chrome IMO. This summer I plan on trying the zoop seal. When I first got my wheels I waxed them with meguires and washed them regularly and that kept them new looking.
