Default Wheel Help Please.

I am looking at getting some new rims for my 2500HD, the ones that I am looking at only come polished, no chrome plated ones. Are the polished ones better or should I find something chrome plated? I have been told that the polished are alot more work to take care of. I don't do much mudding or off roading. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Polished are more work to take care of, you have to polish them every so often to keep them looking clean and shiney. When clean though, I have people tell me they look better than chrome.

I prefer polished over chrome. Im more into the subtle machined shine over the bling shine. They are more work to keep clean but who doesnt like cleaning their truck?

Those are good looking wheels. Are you going with a 20" wheel?

Not a big fan of 20'' on a 2500HD, probably 17''.
