I have had the chromed and they dont hold up that well. Stick with an alum alloy with your choice of color. (I like the black alum)

"Steel Alum"?
Well, I can't recommend that, but I can recommend my Unique (Cragar) Black "D" Window steel rims. Price for steel wheels is much friendlier than alloy too!



I can also recommend one of the Forum sponsors, Discount Tire Direct.

Thanks for the input I have been looking at the Dick Cepeks posted a thread before about them, just trying to decide which is better since there is a huge price difference.
