So only a 1 year finish warranty....

I have bright pvd now...... look is hard to explain. Its like a translucent chrome.
Real chrome still takes the cake. Although I would not have turned down SEY in pvd.

Thought about this.... black chrome and pvd however just don't have the same "sparkle"

Love the tread pattern on these
Think it looks better than the Alenza for sure.
These are directional however and cannot be rotated side to side unless broken down......
Guess they are going into long term storage.

I looked at those as well but ended up getting the Nitto NT421Q's instead-both have a great tread pattern.
I vote chrome all the way....
I'll just bring this in for motivation....
The only downside-if any- to the TBSS rims is with so much open space between spokes--bigger brakes would complete the look. Although maybe not a necessity for stopping-just don't wanna see those small rotors. I thought about a set of chrome 22's for mine down the road.....

Forget that Your never going to warrantee them anyway. It is time for a decision.

Main reasons I got these was....... Price...... and the Hankook brand, as I have had great life out of them before.

My current wheels are really bad at this..... thin spokes make it worse.

....and this is why Lee won't get rims before Fall '16 
Definitely go with the Chrome. I can't remember where but I saw a pic of the competition gray on your color tahoe (i think it was) and there was just enough difference in the shade to drive me crazy...they need contrast if you go with that look, I think.

The slight difference in gray, though small..... it is a factor.
Although this is a flat grey....... closest pictures I found.
And chrome
