Chrome vs silver

THR4OSU · 07-13-2007, 10:17 PM

I am considering a set of ASA AR1's. If I go with chrome in a warm weather area like southern California will the finish hold up. Are the chrome ASA AR1's more likely to chip or scratch over a three year period than the standard silver wheels?

I'll leave the chip/scratch comments to the experts, but I think based on your 2 options I'd go with the silver. There are WAAAAY too many chrome wheels driving around in sc.

I think chrome usually looks too gaudy, only looks half decent on large SUVs, stick with the silver for sure.
