Default buying new truck, wheel help

Just looked at an 06 bighorn 1500 quad cab. It had the 20 inch chrome wheels on them but they were chrome hub caps in my opinion, Plastic insterts that go over wheel, Is this how all the wheels are, are the alloy wheels better or what, whats the deal, any true chrome wheels

They did produce wheels other than the chrome clads. Mine are the brushed aluminum finish wheels, one piece and very easy to paint black .

The chrome clad are the way they are made if not painted aluminum. I have had no problem with mine and from what I have read, it is very hard to get the plastic pieces off of the wheels.
Oh, and not everybody likes a drab world of everything the same color
