Ok...i will be going either with the Y2K Corvette Rims...ZR1 rims...or Z-06 rims (the ones I am leaning more towards) They come in Chrome, Polish, and Silver....what are the pros and cons?? Does polish look like chrome?? Here is what im thinking...dont know if its right or wrong...first..silver...I like...but I think I would get tired of them..and will want something like chrome or polish...so I probably wont go with those...polish...dont know if they are like chrome...and if they are clear coated...that may in time start to peal off (like my current rims)....with chrome...they would look nice...but doesnt the chrome plating start to flake off after time? And when that does happen...wouldnt it be cheaper to repolish and clear coat the polished rims...rather than going and replating the chrome rims? Help me decide...thanks...oh and by the way...I will repainting my car as well...probably a dark blue color...and using either black stripes with black decals, or white or silver stripes with white or chrome decals. Thanks

Triple chrome plating (show quality) will take a very long time to peel & flake and would be the most durable finish, with the least maintenance.

Polished wheels look very near chrome but the ones you would be buying would probably have a clear coat.... which would be fine for quite a while. But then to do any "serious" maintenance on them would require stripping the clearcoat and buffing the aluminum.

You might check to see if the polished aluminum is clear "powder coated". That would be more durable than conventional clear coat.
