WheeliePro Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I have the rims pictured below on my '06 GMC Sierra Performance Edition. Can anyone tell me if they are chrome PLATED aluminum wheels or chrome CLADDED aluminum wheels? To clarify, chrome plated aluminum is dipped like typical, old-school chrome bumpers and such. Chrome cladding is a "chromed" piece of plactic glued or bonded to an aluminum wheel (like the current Silverado 20s). I want to get mine either Black Chromed or Anodized grey, but I can't do that if they are cladded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001silverado364 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Pretty sure the vho/v-max rims are chrome plated just like the ss rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BAD2K Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Right you are! I don't think GM cheaped the F out (like didge has been doing for years) and cladded wheels until the nnbs trucks. Not positive, but that's what I've seen.

Badazzchevy327 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 i want a set of those new 5 spoke cladded wheels with the cladding removed so bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001silverado364 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Yeah, the texas edition's without cladding look pretty badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSBlue24 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 That wheel is OEM chrome plated not a cladding piece. If you need them wheels black chrome check out our web site www.calchrome.com that's where I work and could do the job for you if you like.
