Btw, to me that makes sense. They probably expect truck owners to mess up their wheels much more often than someone in a Charger or Challenger and this is a cheaper alternative to fix messed up wheels.

No wonder I've been buying German cars since the 80's. Chrome clad wheels... never heard of such a thing until today. And I was thinking of getting an '09 Laramie. Now I'm going to have to look at the '09 F-150.
