super japan chrome is more classier, not blindlingly shiny and lasts longer due to its so-called 3-D effect than traditional domestic chromes...only higher end japanese rims offer super japan chromes(this should mean something ). in japan, regular chromes are actually cheaper than super japan chromes.

price ref: ie.~$2600 silver 18", $2800 for regular chromes, ~$2900-2950 for super chromes..
