stupid question. Chrome or Silver alloy wheel

i was looking at the wheel for 04 Sedan 6MT from this website and they have two that match mine. the problem is one is listed as silver alloy ($179 http://market.autopartsfair.com/infi...-item-835.html) and the other is chrome alloy ( $375 http://market.autopartsfair.com/infi...item-833.html). I cant' tell the difference from the pictures on that website. Mine is the stock wheel that came with the car. I thought that chrome wheel was suppposed to be kinda shiny/stainless steel look. Mine isn't shiny so could it be that i need the silver alloy not the chrome one? Thanks for your help.

the site probably didn't use an accurate photo for the chrome rim...chrome rims are shiny like a mirror...it sounds like you need the regular silver alloy

Didn't click your links but, anything chrome is super shinny and reflects like a mirror.
Plus any wheel chromed is going to be heavier than not chromed.

Yeah...go with silver alloy.
