Which do you prefer, chrome wheels or competition wheels?

Which do you prefer, reguardless of what wheels you have now, the factory chrome wheels or the factory competition wheels?

I loathe Chrome. Too cheesy looking for me. Only if it is on the right car does it look nice.

They're aren't really chrome but pretty close. At first I didn't much like em and was gonna grab some comp package wheels or at least the non-polished kind... But they've really grown on me and they look sick when they're clean and go well silver.

Like I said it depends on the car, I hate when I see these red riced out civics with these cheesy cheap-looking chrome wheels.

The polished wheels suck balls. I'm ditching them for competition package wheels.

Depends on the color of the car. I prefer chrome on a blue or black car. It doesn't go as well with silver or red.
