Also consider , the upkeep of each finish, High polish is a pain in the ass.. cause it sctarches easy and dull very fast, chrome shine and easy to clean, but hard to fix if you bend them, silver is the proly the easiest of them all but looks is not all there. That's just my opinion, I've had them all so try to stay away from high polish if you hate cleaning wheels....

I've had chrome before and I'll never get them again. I love the way they look but proper maintenance is a bitch! Washing w/ soap & water, then drying them, then windexing them. Not to mention waxing them twice a month...no thanks! I say either poished or silver.

I wash mine with the rest of the car using the same Zaino Z-7 car wash formula.
Blow dry with the Leaf Blower and Zaino Z-2 them like once a month.
No extra trouble really and I don't drive with mine in the snow.

chrome is really nice but if you plan on having the rims for more then 2-3yrs go with silver bc i had the problem of chrome rims oxidizing and i was losing air out of my tires every week. Unless you get your chrome rims sealed every 3 months but thats just a pain in the ass. i just bought a set of diablo racing rims a couple months ago and went with silver polished. I probably will buy chrome again but for now im sticking with silver.

In fact, I want the rims rondog has.
