Default RE: 20 inch chrome clad wheels

I ordered the 20" Chrome-clad wheels for my R/T. I did not even want the wheels. I wanted the 3.92 gears, and ordering the 20's was the only way to get the steeper gears. I plan on using aftermarket wheels anyhow. I will set my plastic wheels aside along with anything else I remove from the car so I can put it back to stock for warranty work or potential resale in the distant future.

Ever since the Dodge Ram trucks have been available with 20" wheels, they have been plastic. For those who are worried about them holding up, they hold up much better than alloy wheels that have been chrome plated. GM and Chrysler chrome wheels suck! (Buicks, Caddys, PT cruisers, Grand Cherokees, LH cars, etc). The chrome eventually starts peeling from the wheels as they corrode. The worst part is that they leak badly after the chrome has peeled around the bead seating area. I don't know if this is a problem everywhere, but here in the rust belt, it is terrible!
