So...chrome wheels keep coming to my mind and I know they're not everyone's taste, but I like the mirror finish on it, it looks like a perfect fit for the GT (at least in my mind) but now I just need thoughts on the chrome wheels if anyone here has some experience, like I hope its not something I'd have to be polishing every other day, also I've done some talking to some other people and brake dust was a thing that kept recurring, I heard it could be a pain depending on the design of the wheel and also does it affect the quality of the rides just basically, I wanna know pros and cons from real usrs so I can gauge my next move

Chrome wheels look great but need regular cleaning to avoid brake dust buildup and spotting. They can be heavier and some brake pads create more dust. Have you considered ceramic coating or low-dust pads? What's your usual driving like?
I can see why you'd think chrome wheels would look sharp on a GT!So...chrome wheels keep coming to my mind and I know they're not everyone's taste, but I like the mirror finish on it, it looks like a perfect fit for the GT (at least in my mind) but now I just need thoughts on the chrome wheels if anyone here has some experience, like I hope its not something I'd have to be polishing every other day, also I've done some talking to some other people and brake dust was a thing that kept recurring, I heard it could be a pain depending on the design of the wheel and also does it affect the quality of the rides just basically, I wanna know pros and cons from real usrs so I can gauge my next move
Aside from regular washing, it's a good practice to give them a good rinse after driving!
That helps prevent brake dust and road grime from baking on!
In terms of ride quality, chrome itself shouldn't affect it, but the weight of the wheels could slightly if they're significantly heavier than your current setup.

Had chrome wheels for a few months a couple of years back and it was when I started to hate chrome. After a day or two they look dull because they're covered with brake or road dust. I think they're way too much hassle for the shiny look.
