Default Pro comp 1079 vs 6079

Can anyone post pics mounted(17x9 with 33s if possible) that I could clearly identify difference between those 2 wheels? They are exactly the same except for the finish (polished vs Chrome)
Which one would you recommend? Any comments?

Thanks

Series 1079


Series 6079

I'd be interested in some photos as well. I'm getting close to a new tire/rim purchase.

However I am not a fan of chrome wheels, so i'd for sure go with the polished ones.

Polished is always going to need attention to look good, Chrome will need much less.

with all that said, I prefer a black wheel!!!

Yep, in a few months the polished will be dull grey and the chrome will look just like you bought it...

Yea, my friend runs the Chrome ProComp 6079. He's had them for over a year now and they still look like new.

There ya go from folks who know... Polished looks great (WAY better in my opinion than chrome) but are a bitch to care for. The Chrome will look the same for years. Feel free to look at my avatar to see what I like but it wasn't an option to vote for...

Post pics when you get your new wheels!

He was a little embarrassed by it - calls it something like his "testosterone moment" as he is typically very, very deliberate when wheeling.

Here are pics of the 6079 with "rock rings". I just took these off and went with black wheels so I have 5 of the 6079s for sale. Nothing wrong with them just liked black better. The tires are 315/70/17.
