All the Chysler product wheels are made this way now. At least you don't have to worry about them rusting or pitting. |

I'm sorry about this BUT ... I still think that chrysler should have a tire option for premium group II, get the 18 inch non trail-rated tires or a trail-rated version! Wow on top of this i find out the chrome clad wheels are not chrome ... but a plastic overlay. |

That's what clad means... to cover or clothe. They are just covers with a chrome finish. |
