Chromed Factory Wheels

I am looking for comments on the pros and cons of having my wheels chromed. Casual surfing of the net has produced lots of conflicting information. Thought I would turn to the experts and get some advice.

look at this site, and call them for their opinions:

Then, get the counter view from these folks - and decide which way you'd like to go:

These people do stuff for bikes as well - and Harley riders are usually just as critical of their bike aesthetics as any Porsche owner is about his/her car..........

Chrome plating usually lowers the fatigue strength of the base metal...

I don't think Porsche will warranty chromed wheels, just fyi .

Look into powder coating them. Also, there is a new process similar to powder coating that is supposedly more resistant to scratching and which looks amazing. (Sorry I don't remember the name of the process)

Thanks for all your help. I will do some more research.
