Polished Wheels and Chrome...Whats the difference?
 

The title says it all. Which one is better?

Polished is like almost a silvery chrome. Not quite as shiney as a full chrome wheel. They still look good though.

polished wheels require more upkeep unless they are clear coated. Chrome wheels are referred to as "bling bling" since they are so shiney.

what tool said, CHrome = looks great! and is shiney, but alota polishing...

Polished looks good also, sometimes looks dirty, not as shiney, easy upkeep...

polished...
is a natural aluminum finish but its POLISHED making it shiny...

chrome...
is more of a plating... the aluminum wheel is dipped in several types of different molten metals... some clean, finish, and protect... its a long and expensive process which is why chrome is most expensive...

chrome also requires alot of matainence

:beerchug:

chrome is a BITCH to maintain

/thread

lol... yes... danny hit the nail on the head... If you love yer car then this doesnt matter...

I am curious why you all say that? I have chrome 18's now on my cobra and they are alot easier to maintain them were the polished wheels on my 01 cobra were. I use clearkote metal polish then top with clearkote carnuba and my wheels are so easy to clean its not funny. with my polished wheels I had to polish them once a month by hand and it was a bitch.

cause they are... :rolleyes:

How you all?

If weight loss is a problem, a recommend a weight loss solution.

In addition to riding my bike daily and changing my eating habits, taking Proactol has helped.
