Guess it depends on what you are looking to do. If you are looking for the bling than go chrome. Just remember how much a PITA it'll be cleaning the brake dust off those wheels.

And chain lube. But I guess you could always just not use the lube :D

My Buell came with the polished rims and it is black. I like them there aren't to bad to keep clean but it is a little work. I think you know what best suites you.

with the black/silver paint scheme either polished or black look good. not chrome though.

I'd love to do that to my bike. What all did you have to use to polish them like that?
