All METAL wheels are either CHROME or clear coated or painted.
Does not apply to carbon-fiber wheels.

all non-chrome (steel or aluminum alloys) HAVE TO BE COATED / painted or they will oxidize badly and quickly.

I'm sure you can tell CHROME from non-chrome. Chrome can be applied to any metal wheels.
