Alright everyone, I am in a dilema. I have aYellow 02 with the silver thin spoke wheels. I am planning to put the stock wheels in chrome. I wanted to see if anyone can post pics of a side-by-side comparison as to the polished and chrome look diffrence. Thanks!

Sorry, don't have any pics, but I can assure you that the chrome wheels will be like night and day compared to the polished ones. Much more bling with the chrome.
