I would go for the stainless steel nerf bars!
The chrome could rub off and pit causing rust.
The stainless steel is unlikely to rust and if any cuts or scratches appear some steel wool would shine it up back to show condition.
Just my two cents

Stainless is the way to go, if you can keep it looking nice. Mother's chrome polish will keep it looking sharp. You have to keep up on the cleaning & polishing.
Smittybilt is about 30 days out from getting there nerf bars out. They are called SureStep. I have posted the Part # on another page here, but I cant find it!
I cant decide on getting these in stainless or black since I have a white truck with a lot of black (windows,trim,rails, etc). I think stainless will look nice though. Smittybiltis out of Corona Cal. www.smittybiltinc.com
