Is911: These wheels are NOT chrome. They're made out of a solid block of aircraft aluminum and cut down on a computerized lathe....then are polished to get that finish. They will dull a bit over time, but John gave me the three step process for keeping them looking like new and sealing them so that the brake dust doesn't cake up. He uses an aluminum cleaner followed by Mother's Billet polish (the $11 one not the cheaper one) and finish up with Rejex for a sealant....but the process requires you to not drive the car for 48 hours while the Rejex sealant sets up, but when you're done, they look spiffy and stay that way.

Apologies on the chrome ignorance. My bad, thanks for pointing it out to me Chuck. No wonder I felt "almost converted". Now I can put the struggle to rest and go back to chrome hating
Mike, I am a bit partial to black wheels on love the black on SY look (great pics!). You are fortunate on having both these wheel options available. Hot blonde on one side, beautiful brunette on the other.
life's a b!tch
