Here's the first of what I assume will be many questions about my new B.

Since I will probably have to replace three wheels due to worn splines, now is 
the time to think about chrome wires.  What are the pros and cons of chrome vs. 
painted?  I would assume that chrome wires require a lot of care to keep them 
shiny.  I also wonder if chrome might be a little showy for a car as humble as 
an MGB. I think the painted wires currently on the car go nicely with its 
mineral blue finish. But my wife saw a few cars with chrome wires at the Palo 
Alto show and thought they looked sharp.  What do you folks think?  Thanks for 
the advice.
