Finish on these wheels?

Can anyone tell if these HRE547R's are polished or chromed finish?

Its hard to tell from a pic, but they look like they shine good. So I would guess chrome. I think there was a time when HRE didnt do chrome only high polish and clear coated for extra. Anyways chrome is nice for its shine, but polished is easier to repair if you scrape or gouge a wheel.

I would say polished but pics are tough. I have some pics that mine look chrome... they just look brand new.

Polished. The polish on the HRE wheels is very good - I just bought a set.

The So Cal VCA Club will be touring the HRE plant in Vista, CA on Saturday March 10. If there are any interested so Cal members go to www.socalviper.org for details.

The tour is free and all attendees will be eligible for a special deal on a new set of HRE wheels.

Thanks all... with that kind of shine, don't see why chrome would be needed. I've heard that there is a big difference between polished and polished with clearcoat. But again, these wheels are about as shiney as needed, especially on a dark color like the black car.

I have polished with no clear coat. While it does take time to polish every few months, I dont mind at all. I think they look great.

I am doing Motons in the spring...

I personally like the polished better too. Chrome is to shiny. The only thing is, polished is harder to maintain. If you use the car everyday in rain and dont wash it often you will have some marks on them. I polish just my lips every few weeks to keep them nice. If you want something easy, go with polished and clearcoat. You will have more protection and less chance of stains because you can just wax them.
