Sounds easy enough! Looking at the Street Scene website I see where these Bowties are also offered in chrome. Do you think the polished best matches the SS wheels or would the chrome match even better?

Chrome would be a little much to match the SS wheels.

X2 + polished bow-ties can always be polished back up like new...

Chrome starts pitting & party over. Especially in the front that takes a beating..

I think they are all clear anodized so not real polishing is needed. The chrome would just have more shine vs the aluminum. They would look similar but the aluminum would match the wheels better.
