Need pics - polished vs chrome wheels

Also, how about some opinions.

I really want the Foose Nitrous II for my truck, but they only come polished, and I want chrome. So next choice is the Nitrous (but I don't love the rivets)

How about some pics of any brand/size wheels that are either chrome or polished.

I like the extra shine and super easy maintainence of chrome, but maybe I will go with the wheels I like best in polished. Then some day when I want to spend even more $$$$$$ I can have them chromed.

Thanks

Here are the wheels I am talking about. Chrome on left - Polished on right.

Re: Need pics - polished vs chrome wheels

just a thought, i am not a wheel expert here but you may want to look into having the aluminum ones clear coated. i dont really hear many guys doing this, but this is what new cars have nowadays if they have mag wheels. even easier than chrome to clean, just wipe or hose off, no chorme cleaner., you may want to call the wheel manufacturer on this to get there 2 cents, also maybe a painter will chime in. you would definitly have to get it painted professionally, no rattle can. there even may be a special type of clear that you would need to use. good luck
