polished or chromed

i bought a set of used Brabus Monoblock III (old design) and would like to refinish them (as well as fix some curb rash). should i have it re-chromed or would "polished-finish" be better?

please pardon the quality of the pictures ...

I think polished would look better.

A definite "must do". Make it first priority to lower.

thanks for the responses. just found out that there will be additional cost to have them refinish because of the multi-piece configuration of the wheel. btw, went to Mag Masters & Wheel Repair Specialists.

also, thanks for the advise. i'm now considering lowering the car first. just have to do more reading regarding this within the forum.

Yes, I was gonna say lower it first but you had made it into your plan. Btw, what size are those wheels? Also, pls check your PM box..got a question

thanks. these are the 18's staggered (not the 20's). so, they fit nicely (no spacers required).
