I have those wheels and they only come in polished. It takes me 1 1/2 hours to polish all four by hand.

Polished aluminum looks WAY better than chrome to me. It has a more lusterous look, but its a pain to keep them clean. If you are in an humid, salty area or rains alot... chrome would be better because it always stays shiny and is VERY easy to keep clean compared to aluminum. But if you just want all out pimpness, go with aluminum.

i have aluminum and it takes me about 5 hours to do all 4.
