Yep, the chrome are better than the black -- chrome look clean (black look dirty). For the same reason, I like silver wheels over black ones.

I think it really depends on the color of the car. With SPY, the black just looks better. Same with the wheels. But on something like Tanz, the chrome really looks nice. With colors like IOM it could go either way... depending on what the owner likes. But even on the IOM, the chrome pops. White, grey, PB... works with both... the one making the monthly payments has to like it!

I prefer a nice polished or chrome tip but they require constant upkeep with DI engines. Black tips hides the soot better.
