Default 20 inch chrome clad wheels

I bought a set on Ebay and after careful consideration I am not thrilled with them. I know that there have been posts about these wheels prior to mine. I don't mean to offend anyone as the wheels look good on most Challenger's, but with the wheels off the car and sitting in my basement I am really surprised at the wheels construction. The wheel is aluminum but the chrome is an overlay held on by ???. I guess some sort of structural adhesive is used to hold the cladding to the wheel. The cladding is plastic with a chrome finish. One observation is that with the offset I don't think the wheel would survive any type of minor altercation with a curb.
My car has the 18's and the Michelin tires. Frankly my car is looking real good to me at the moment just like it is. I am on the verge of giving up on this upgrade. Once again, I am not tring to be disrespectful of those R/T owners with the chrome clad wheels. I am curious if anyone has accidentally run over a curb or had any problems with the chrome clad wheels.
