I'm wondering what you guys think. I'm getting some new wheels and grill for my navigator. Any opinions?

 

I have polished wheels on my Vette and Im about to mount Z06 chromies on my Camaro and Im jealous of the chrome, it looks really good with little maintenance

 

Until it starts flaking and chipping.

 

They both have their pros and cons...

Chrome will eventually peel, but polished wheels will never shine like chrome but polish will never peel like chrome.
Chrome is heavier which is pretty important on a rotating object like wheels. Some people do opt to clearcoat a highly polished wheel to protect the finish/save from having to repolish the wheels often, but that can yellow or peel too.
Chrome bubbling/peeling and its slightly higher price can make decisions easier but most manufacturers offer a 1-3 year warranty on their chrome wheels.


Its all up to you but I currently have both and now Im back to chrome for my Camaro. Goodluck

I'd say some of it depends on where you live. Here in Illinois, driving on salted roads, chrome won't last though one winter, no matter how well you try to take care of em. I love the look of chrome, but I'll never own another set of chrome wheels.. its all polished for me from now on.

 

After owning polished wheels, I will never own another set ever again. The up keep on them is just way too much. Chrome all the way!!

 

Took the words right out of my mouth.Chrome all the way.

 

I like polished wheels, but I must admit, their is a lot of maintenance on them. However, it gives me a sense of pride knowing that I make them shine that good after I polish them up. As someone said earlier, it is a matter of personal choice as both have their pros and cons.

 

depends on the car/color and what style of wheel. but as stated above, chrome is very very easy to keep clean and i never had any peel on me.
