Which lip to go with?

My wheels will be brushed aluminum and I am trying to figure whether or not to go with the chrome lip or the regular polished one.

Chrome lips, look better and also faster to clean.

I was thinking of a set of these in brused aluminum aith either a polished or chrome lip...

The biggest question is - What is the relative look between the two? Is there that big of a difference?

Chrome lip! I'm never going back to polished lips. They dull and are hard to clean. Chrome is EASY to clean, they wont dull, and alot more shiny. Once you go chrome you'll never go back!

With the chrome lip, 3pc. design, shipping and surcharge was +/- $3400. How much was yours and what color did you go with?
