you are really going to argue with me when you never seen my truck in person... ok then if my wheels were the clads then when i tap on it, it would sound plastic right? also i could try to pull off the plastic right? well i cant on mine bc they are CHROME!!! ill try to make a video to show you. maybe that will help you believe

If they're STOCK wheels, which I'm 99% sure they are, then i don't have to see your truck. As for the plastic, it is basically fused into the metal. There's no way you're going to be able to separate it from the aluminum base or tell it's plastic. This is the same reason you can't powder coat them, they're inseparable.

We have the 02-05 OEM wheels sitting in the warehouse.

If this is your wheel, it's clad

This was taken from your gallery. The inside of the wheel is black, it's a clad.

It's his spare tire and his dog chewed through the sidewall as mentioned in a thread below this one.
