I am a fan of polished. Chrome is just to much like a mirror, no depth. And its a 60s and 70s look. You know, the disco era, if you like disco you may like chrome LOL Just kidding. Chrome does have its places.

And for a polished wheel, billet polishes up oh so nice. Cast wheels will look good for a fraction of the time. The billet wheel is less porous. Cast wheels do have some porosity and thats where the oxidation will take hold.

I just did a Zoopseal treatment of my new wheels. Im curious to see how that holds up. Havent read any negative comments with the stuff yet, besides price. Time will tell. JR
