[T3] empi vs brm (repro's)


i have been looking into getting some wheels for my car for some time now, and 
i just saw that american eagle is now making empi chrome wheels for 179.99 ea. 
the polished is still about 99.99 and brm replicas can be bought for 129.99. i 
have always liked the empi's but every body has em (relatively speaking, of 
course). i like the brm's too, but i don't like the black, i saw silver/grey 
for five lug, but not four lug.

i remeber our last discussion of empi polished finishes, it was mentioned that 
the repro polished empi's duleed because a claer coat is not applied to them at 
manufacturing. how do others like their polished wheels? any (undue) dulling? i 
think chrome would be pretty sweet.

so for the money and looks which ones do my fellow type 3er's prefer?
