I'm pretty sure your plastic wheel covers are not structurally related.

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.

This was shocking news for me also... AFAIK, you can BUILD YOUR OWN and choose the 17¨ wheels

Are you saying you can build your own and add 17 in wheels or you wish that was an option?
