Would say it depends on the bike. Have seen some where it looks very good... chrome or polished, but more often than not it can look out of place on a dedicated sporting ride. Would note a Buell Cyclone M2 I once owned came with chromed PM wheels as a factory option, and on this bike it fit very well. Probably have never owned a bike drawing as many walkarounds and rave reviews as I have with this thing, and believe it was the PM wheels versus another black or painted wheel setting it apart.
FWIW, could fly on the bike, with no ill effect from the chrome.
