Highly polished or chrome wheels?

I'm looking at getting AFS 18" ZO6 Wheels. I've seen the chrome quite a bit and was wondering if any body had pics of the polished ZO6's on a silver Camaro. Also what would you guys pick highly polished or chrome?
Thanks

I like the idea of chrome on a silver Camaro.

You could go either way, but silver and chrome does work well. In fact, silver, pewter and chrome could be the best pairing.

polished you will bust ur *** to actually polish, but it wont chip. Chrome will look nicer but chip easier.

I think AFS Tripple coats them, so chips are very uncomon. I have had no probs with mine so far. Polished looks good as well, but you have to keep them lookign good yourself.

I prefer polished rims for a couple reasons..... One, they're lighter without the chrome plating; and two, there's nothing to chip off - that and if you scratch chrome, you can't polish it out. Besides, a nice polished rim looks every bit as good as chrome; I know there's maintenance involved with that, but I just like polished rims better.....

Go with chrome

Polished Aluminum wheels suck ***** because you have to polish the hell out of them

I worked at a detail shop and have had a few customers with neglected polished wheels that took me forever to get them to look right.

Go chrome.

Only way I'd do polished again was if it was with a show car or "weekend only" car.
