depending on the wheel, all chrome is kinda ghetto (depending on the rim)

chrome lips, yes

polished is also nice but a pain to keep shiny.

chrome lips and brushed or color matched face is what i prefer

Buying rims is a personal decision. If you love chromies then get them because what is popular doesn't really matter.

Personally I'd like some eighteen inch 542Rs with brushed and anodized center with a polished lip but am I going to pay HRE $2,000 per to make them for me? No way!

polished is a good compromise between the two. but as stated above.. it's a pita to polish and keep clean.

Performance with chrome lip would be nice.

All chrome I usually don't like, there are exceptions though, depending on the design . . .
