That's an EASY one after owning atleast one set of rims in every finish. STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM POLISHED. The upkeep is horrific and they start to pit after a while. More upkeep than any other rim. Stay with chrome or painted.
Leave the painted ones.
i decided to keep the stock ones and was planning to buy a set of polished or chrome for shows and cruises. someone has vin coded my wheels to the car so i cant really ever sell them,lol
Here is a set of polished for sale close to you, 93 FORD MUSTANG COBRA WHEELS
Here is a guy selling both kinds also 1993 OEM COBRA WHEELS AND TIRES (2 SETS)

i have a guy up here i helped build a powder coating oven for and i think he is doing a chrome and black chrome on some wheels, i'll check
yea i really like the black chrome as well on mine... Teal cars look really good with them too.
well im in the process of buying a set of factory wheels to have them powder coated black chrome and we will see how they look once there done, still might buy a set of chrome ones also just for the hell of it.
Yea I asked my powder coated today he said can't get the shine out of it. It would be a black with a little silver
I have chrome on my 03 and polish on the 93 Teal. As, the polish wheels require a little more maintenance at first. I really don't mind them. Just do a really good polish and then wax them. The wax makes it easier on the up keep...just wipe them off with detailer spray. With the chrome, I just use the detailer spray to freshen them up. But, have to say that really both need a little or some detailing as the cars sit in the garage. It seems that after sitting in the garage dust and moisture will screw them up either way. Now, if you daily drive you car. I do agree with the above comments. Stay away from polish wheels. However, if the car isn't a daily driver and doens't see any rain. Poilsh wheels would be fine.
Here is a couple of pics of my teal. I have only POILSHED them once back in the spring. Like I said... I just use a little spray deatiler to freshen them. After a real good polish...think my polish wheels look like chrome.
Oh yea,, BLACK CHROME :rockon:
I wouldn't mind a set for my teal. Black chrome and teal...:rockon:
