That milky look that people complain about, is desirable for those who know, that is why they polish wheels and not just chrome them.
You can't just chrome any wheels and make them look OK. That's a crock. Nicely styled wheels look even better chromed and bad wheels will continue to look bad no matter what you do to them. Personally, I don't like the polished look, but if you do good for you. Don't just dismiss all chrome wheels as "bling bling", though, because that is a completely ridiculous classification.

Lose the "holier than thou" attitude. There's nothing to "get"! I think chrome looks better than polished and you don't. That's it. Don't try to tell me that your opinion is somehow more valid than mine, though, because it certainly is not!

You're funny, " Lose the "holier than thou" attitude." 
Do I **** you off?

You're one to talk. Your first response to me called me stupid and a moron. Obviously you're a newbie who doesn't know how to conduct himself and if anyone needs to be removed it's you!

You're also new to the forum and you wouldn't have been called that if you didn't act like one. Bottom line is most people on here have had a run in with you which means you're just a PAIN. You hunt threads to argue with people and we're all getting tired of it.

Most people here have had a run in with me? So, two people are most people here? FYI, I've been here since December and you've been here a month so it's obvious you don't know what the hell you're talking about. How old are you anyway?

I'm now officially bored with you.

Ted, why do you keep trying to bait me? It's obvious that we're not going to see eye to eye on anything so there's no point in trying to explain myself to you. While I'd be willing to put my knowledge of Corvettes up against you, fast95vette or anyone else, what's the point? Do you really want to get into a knowledge contest?
