Default Which one to buy

Need the forums help, looking to buy new set of wheels for my 97.
Just wondering if eBay seller moore9911 is ok and if the thin 5 spoke wheel, would be better in chrome or polished finished. As for as looks and maintains.
Thanks for all your help.

If the polished wheels are clear coated, there will be little maintenance to do on them. But for the best bling, go with the chrome.
