    Hands down::: POLISHED!!

    Unfortunately the selection is getting lean.

    Polished hides scratches better from the trail.

    I have been going through this decision myself. The one thing I dont like about a solid black wheel is that it seems to get lost with the black tires. Unless its a closeup photo most pics look like a black blob on the truck.

    Some black and polished wheels look like clown wheels on a truck.

    Most chrome wheels dont seem to add to an offroad, aggressive, 4 wheeling look.

    Brushed aluminum wheels seem to be a somewhat good compromise.

    Black is definately a tough, aggressive, 4 wheeling good looking wheel but seems to lack definition in pics.

    Decisions decisions.
