Ok, I'm getting a set of 18x9 Saleen wheels for my black 2000Gt Vert, do you think I should go with chrome or polished wheels. Chrome will cost me about 150 more. Let me know.

The reason I was looking at the polished is because the chrome rims on my car are all pitted and peeling. The woman who owned it before me didn't take care of them. These will be strictly a summer wheel though so I don't think I will have that problem. Anyone know what makes chrome get pitted and peel?

Yep, just the polished lip on mine, center piece is painted. However, my polished lip, especially on the rears, is quite large. Thats the look I wanted, that deep dish look. I just heard from a guy that worked at Discount Tire that the chrome wheels will peel eventually.

That's very true....if they aren't taken care of. If they are taken care of they will last just fine.
