Default 20" chrome cap removal

BTW, I am the new guy.
Hi, my name is Paolo and I own a Dodge. I am 3 days sober.............Oh sorry, wrong session.

Anyways, has anyone removed the chrome "hubcaps" off of their 20"s?
I would like to know before I end up ruining my "bling-bling."
Let me know.
If someone has or can get pictures of what lies behind the mask......let me see!!
thanks, the dodgefather.

The 20" chrome wheels are just a plastic material over a rim. This is why the it sounds like "plastic" when blasting it with the hose

Keep an eye on that outter layer. That's the chromed plastic. I want to see what is behind the mask.
Every Dodge factory 20" "chrome" wheels have that chromed plastic cap.

If I had to guess, it is the same wheel (material) as the polished version, but.... Not polished or clear coated.
