Chrome or polished both compliment silver IMO.
Black wheels are just a dark blob in the wheel wells no matter what color they are on.

Comp grey.... no contest.

Why are Chrome & Polished joined as one choice in the poll?

Probably due to the fact that from a distance true high polished wheels look to be chrome or the other way around.

Black mesh wheel, silver (body cover) pin stripe on the lip with the transparent top!

Chrome is the only way to go.

Hmmmmm :confused:

Kinda like saying, from a distance a full head of real hair looks like a good toupee or the other way around. :lol:

I am not of the opinion that chrome plated metal wheels can ever look like machine polished, forged aluminum. That's why I think it inappropriate for chrome & polished to be combined into one poll choice. But then again, hey!

I tend to agree. I would be insulted if someone said my $5K chrome wheels looked like polished wheels!:D I couldn't resist.

DSOMC6 10-02-2011 10:57 PM

Although not Silver, definately :cool:

I'm not a fan of a four-door Porsche. But I saw one just like this in person and it looked bad to the bone.

Because they are exactly the same. There is absolutley no difference between polished and chromed! :rofl:

No really, just to simplify. I wanted to keep it to four or less choices, kind of a shiny wheel vs dark wheel poll.

I actually have the factory polished, and I think it is pretty common for people to mistake highly polished with chrome from a distance.

Grey...or anything else but chrome. And I agree that polished and chrome are closely related, but chrome just sucks on a Vette. Unless it is a convertible with a automatic transmission.

I have just never liked chrome wheels. Maybe chrome beauty rings back in the day, but not chrome rims.

Some cars look good with chrome I guess just not my preference.

The dealer offered me a Heck of a price on a Blade Silver with the Comp Grey wheels. I thought the Grey Wheels sounded good on the Blade Silver. Then I saw it at the dealers. I passed on the car. I think chrome still looks the best. Just my own 2 cents worth.
