I disagree. Go for the painted. The chrome can rust, which looks
silly on an alloy wheel. The chrome will take more maintenance to
look good. The painted alloys are easy enough to clean.

In fact, I just cleaned mine this previous weekend (they had been
getting pretty black with brake dust that wasn't washing off with
normal cleaning). I used the orange hand cleaner on them, and they
look like new.
