Chrome vs. Polished Aluminum Wheels?
 

I know polished aluminum is harder to keep clean, but is it as shiny/blingy as chrome?

I don't think so....... I miss my 01 Chromes:help:

what do you have?

Crome >>>> Anything else

damn u hijacked the $h!t out of this thread... At least you have chrome rims I guess :rolleyes:

he asked if I went to the track, I showed him!! :)

LOL

yes i have chrome rims, ive been a chrome plater for 15 years and i think there better than the aluminum rims...just my opinion.there easier to upkeep than the aluminum...

very nice truck buzzy..sorry for the dumb question, i just havent seen any lightnings around here in warren, i thought it was kinda cool to see a fellow lightning owner in the area. yes i have a bolt..2003 black lightning.

People like polished because it has depth, chrome is flat. Polish kept clean is much nicer than chrome. Polished metal can also be fixed my yourself if it gets scratched, chrome needs to be replated.

What exactly do you mean by depth?

I believe he is referring to the over-all appearance. Polished wheels can be polished to a brilliant luster.

Here's a better example of depth.

they have more depth because the surface of a polished wheel is generally smoother than a chrome wheel. i prefer polished to chrome. i have considered polishing my stock wheels, but i am saving that for a time when i want to punish myself severely, as polishing is no easy task.
