Don't want to disappoint you mate but i've heard that the shinyness goes quite quickly. I've never seen this just what i've heard.
If you have to have some, i suggest looking after them like they're kids! right down to getting some high quality brake pads and some decent chrome wheel cleaner and making sure you clean them probably every week or something. To keep them at their best.
Can anyone back me up on this or am i chatting ****?

don't do it, someone i know has had 3 sets because they keep flaking, how ever much he cleans them and stuff, the last i heard he saw them at Riviera run, got em swapped, and by the middle of the week (when they had packed up and gone) they started flaking again. So he saw them at L2B and they offered to change them AGAIN but i think he just wants to go back to polished!

You will also need a set of normal wheels for winter...

they are only good for show cars imo, because of the dust from the brakes and general road grime, it would be hard to keep clean but they doo look good

Ive just been at miniworld show and there was a show car with deepdish chromes and there was a bit of corrosion on them and i bet they do hardly any miles. Theyll be gorgeous until you put them on the car and things will go down hill imo

Yeah don't do it you'll only get *Drunk or yellow human water* when they either flake (if they are plated) or go dull (if they are polished).
There have been a lot of people took them back (especially huddersfield), only to be told where to go if you want replacements or a refund.
