Thanks for the compliments guys!



Im not real familiar with billet. All i know is its tough to clean them up and they tend to look like the shine gets less and less the older they get. I dunno but i am so much happier with chrome. Just tryin to save ya some $$ cause in the long run you will probably end up wanting chrome lol.

Billet, as in a billet wheel, simply means the wheel is made from one huge hunk of aluminum.

Non painted or chromed wheels can be a hassle to take car of as the raw metal is out in the elements. Even if the wheel is clear coated wheels can be a lot of upkeep. There is some polish out there, although I can't think of the name, that seals up the wheels and prevents you from polishing for up to a year or more. Know a few eople who have used it and the swear by the stuff, even if it is a bit expensive.

Chrome wheels, while normally cheaper because of contrustion, doesn't mean the wheels are worry free. If you like the chrome look, then go for it...but if chrome isn't your thing, then don't settle for it, you won't be happy. There is a huge difference in appearance between billet, polished, and chrome wheels. My wheels are painted with a polished lip, and while the lip does get dirty, a quick wipe with a soapy rag and it's good as new.

I have billet wheels on my other truck and usually when they say polished thats what they mean so i assume they are just polished aluminium
