i think polished finish lasts a lot longer and the chrome wheels wont be good in winter.

My old man had the outer rim of his splitties on his 348 chromed early last year, and even though the car has gone out to spain (where it's never seen any rain) they are still pitting and discolouring.

Many wheel cleaners can't be used on chromed wheels, keep that in mind.

I would go for a polished finish mate, much easier to look after.

Anyone know how much this will set me back?
