Your wheels are Torq Thrust II's? One of the two shops I was going to call (work got in the way) sells them in chrome, polished and gray spokes. I'd planned on using gray BUT as the F100 above shows, I think chrome looks great against the dark red. On the site the polished look a touch yellow but the chrome looks gaudy. YOUR wheels look great and you have a dark color so I'm encouraged.
Have you had ANY issue with chrome peeling?
How long have you had your wheels?
I'd prefer waxing clean new chrome rather than regular hand re-polishing.
Last, what offset/backspace do you have?

Dan, will answer all your question. My front rims are only 16", rear rims are 8" wide.
My wheels are polished and I've re-polished them twice, due for another now.
I use my drill and Mother's foam cone and polish. They clean up very well and last a long time. I use Windex foam glass cleaner to keep them clean.
Not chrome, so no peeling.
Bought my wheels and tires in May 2008,couple more months they will be 9 yrs old.
Fronts are 16X7 with 4" B/S and rears are 17X8 with 3-1/2" B/S, I wanted the deep look on the rear.
The above pics were when I first bought them.
These pics are of the front wheel in October 2016 when I hit the deer, but you can see how good they look, and it's been 3 yrs since I last re-polished...Jim
