I know there is a trend to powder coat chrome, but I've been a chrome ***** since the 60's
And keeping the chrome wheels clean is not that difficult, jack it up and use a good chrome spray cleaner and polish that doesn't leave a residue it just wipe on wipe off.
The new color matched wheels are nice, quality wheels, but i still like the chrome.
No, I wouldn't ever do anything but polish chrome, but the new CVO's have color matched wheels. They look good, but i've been into mag or chrome wheels since the 60's and that is how they will stay.
