my $50,000 Cadillac cts has chrome plated (so 1960's) and the plating is peeling off....they are stone ugly and the tires won't hold air because the poor plating extends to the tire sealing area and with the multitude of cracks...air leaks out. I have had them wire brushed a zillion times....no solution....I have to air up my tires weekly....pathetic...Mag and aluminum wheels were certainly an option that they could have provided.
Fully chromed wheels are not a good idea. The chrome inevitably peels.
