Default to chrome? or not to chrome, that is the question...

so like the title says, should i chrome plate my wheels, or just sell them and buy some chrome wheels? i'm not feelin the black no more, either that, or i'm just bored and thinkin of more ideas. only thing i dont like about the chrome is the weight, but i love the way it looks, what should i do?

Is mirror polishing an option? If the wheels are aluminum, then you should be able to do that. I'm not sure about the cost though....is that whats holding you back?

I don't see my preferred option in the poll.

Not feelin' the wheels in either finish, to be honest... you need something fat & staggered!
