chrome looks amazing, but will cost you an arm and a leg, maybe the odd toe. most people either polish them or get them diamond cut and laquered.

cheers man, polishing is just that, polishing! diamond cut is where they stick the wheel on a lathe and slowly cut across the face to give a nice flat uniform finish. it can sometimes leave a little groove running across the face and isn't as full on bling as polished but alot easier and cheaper to have done. most decent wheel places will have a template for the design 90's.
