In the market for some new wheels as I now have a bent one.
The choices are overwhelming.
Ive found one I like( im partial to oem style wheels) from a later year than mine. Its a 5 spoke but I can get it in several trims. Whats most perplexing about this what do you guys prefer and why?
Between polished and chrome. Im sure the chrome wheels these days are pvd but still id like to hear tour thoughts.

For me the chrome ones are as simple as wax and shine. No worries of clear coat peeling but chrome could peel also!

Me personally, I prefer polished or black (if it fits the style). Chrome looks alright but it's too easy to go overboard on the chrome. I too am partial to oem looks. I'm a huge fan of the limited style wheels with the polished inserts and the longhorn style with non chrome.
