Dude, your wheels are clads... All dodge ram chrome wheels are (except SRT10) It's way to expensive plate the whole wheel so they slapped a plastic chrome cover on and called it a day.

Notice how the whole wheel isn't chome? Just the front...

in these pics dude I havent even wheeled the paint yet and it still looks amazing the only hard part is sanding that effin dodge center ring thingy i used sand paper wraped around a popsickle stick and a dremmel tool be careful with the dremel.... use a power sander on the main parts of the rim 300 paper should be good enough for the edges and what not do it by hand it takes a couple hours if u do it right but its worth it and paint that thing slow i took a week to paint mine i used two coats of primer then wet sanded it then two coats of black then wet sanded it then cleared it 26 times

Did you really paint the wheel while it was still on the tire?
