    Should I get the 2004 Cobra with chrome wheels or just get the regular wheels? They are a $695 option. Is chrome too over the top? Also, are they harder to clean and do they get scratched easily? I live in the Northeast and the car would see salt covered roads. What are the pros and cons for chrome?

    Dude skip the chrome, I have them, and while they look really good when clean, they are a pain in the ass to keep clean. Wish I'd have gotten the brushed. However, if you are hip on chrome, get the stock ones and I'll trade you.

    I think the non-chrome wheels look great on silver and that is the color I want. Chrome only looks good on dark colors IMO.

    The machine faced wheels look better in my opinion. But then again, I don't like chrome wheels at all :shrug:

    Chrome is sweet, but the brushed also looks good. Save the money, you will probably be buying wider wheels down the road to accomodate some huge meats. :p
