It depends if it is a weekend driver. I got polished because I dont drive mine alot. They look great, and they never look dirty because I clean them all the time. High maintanence, but they look just as good.
chrome looks much nicer. BUUUUUUUUUTTTTT it tends to peel 
with a polished wheel if you get any blemished they can be polished back out easily where as with chrome you either need a new wheel or get it dipped again

Chrome is shinier, plus it's a lot easier to clean. Put polished and chrome side by side and you'll see quite a difference.

why would polished look more dirty than chrome? and i def wolnt be cleaning my wheels everyday, maybe once a week like i do with the rest of the car
What is all this high maintanence of polished wheels come from? My factory "Limited Edition" wheels are polished and I have never had to do anything more than wash them to make them look great. Maybe because of the clear coating they come with, I don't know. I prefer polished to chrome. Its very classy looking.

Chrome shines and sparkles more. My cousin has the factory 03 GT polished rims (01 cobra type) and when put next to a chrome wheel, the shine is not as bright.
I have chrome on the Roush and polished on my Yukon. It always seems like the Yukons rims get dirty or appear to be dirty alot faster. Can you all tell a difference?
hey thanks for the pics..i think imma go with the polished 19x9 bullits and deep dish in the back. they still look great! and i really think that chrome look can be a little too much

chrome is nice, but i have polished and they fit my car really well. i wouldnt mind throwin some chromes on, but the ones i got are nice enough for me. its all about you, get what you want, but alot of people prefer chrome. i like chrome, but cant afford it.
well i got one more question/poll for you all. 18's or 17's. Idk anything about diff in ride quality or such, or making the car slower, but what would look nicer?
