Stay with the polished, at least for now. There have been a few members here that have had problems with the chrome on their wheels flaking off, no warranty coverage either. Both look great, but it doesn't seem your getting a lot of bang for your buck going from polished to chrome.

Alot of people think the polished look like crap, but I'm pleased with the look on mine. I struggled more on the wheel choice than any other option, but I'm glad I chose polished. Just the right amount of shine IMO.

Stan's the man. I got the standard wheels for mine thinking I'd swap out for polished...decided that the standard did just fine...as he says, understated and European looking, n'est-ce pas?

Just did the chrome wheel swap from WCC and could not be happier. I am okay with a very high polish look, but that is not what the OEM polished wheels are. Total cost, including mounting, was $975 - Much less than any other option. They also come with a 3 year warranty but, unless you drive in road salt, they should last for many many years.
