Just out of curiosity, what would the benefit of chroming be over just polishing the rims? I mean, wouldn't polishing them reduce weight as opposed the the added weight of chrome? Not trying to detract... just not sure what the answer is.

the chrome's easier to keep up, and usually has more bling than polishing....the polished aluminum tends to oxidize kinda quick....I just polished the lips of my wheels...all i have to do is put it on the race stands and give the wheels a spin with the polish and they're good as new....if you want anything more, and i'd say just get some chromies
