19 inchers
It is all a matter of taste, but I like the Type IV AMG series, chromed. They are NOT fun to keep clean, but I love the look. Again, it a personal choice.

I hate cleaning my wheels, but the result is great.. also, its the only way my *** gets an hour sun tan.
Personally, I'm not a fan of chrome. Too much bling. Get polished aluminum.

Polished Aluminum
I has some polished aluminum rims on a Porsche and just didn't care for them. Sold the car before I changed them. Again, a personal choice.

Polished rims
I would say it is the degree of "luster" on the rims. Polished are shiny, but chromed, if done right, seem brighter. Also, the coating on them provides a degree of safety IMO. Probably this question is best left to the Tire Rack. Again, it is all a matter of taste.

Chrome requires more steps when making the wheels, so it's shiner and more expensive than polished. Go for HRE, but $3000 is not enough if you want 2,3 pc with big lip
few spokes means which of the following:???
the 1st one is simpler than the 2nd one.

Yes & No. If you have clear coating on Polished, then you shouldn't have oxidized-related problem until 10 years later
To me the biggest difference is THE LOOK
