Not Plastic
I'm not sure what you mean - I have a 2012 F250 with the 20" Aluminum wheels and they are what I expected - all aluminum, polished. They do not have a plastic wheel cover. I specifically specified these when I ordered the truck. I do recall that another 20" wheel was offered that was not polished but I wanted the polished wheels and that's what I got.
Maybe I misunderstood your post.

There are 2 different 20in wheel options for 2012:
1. chrome clad (ie plastic) cast alumimum
2. polished aluminum
This is different from 2011 when there was just the polished alum option.
I have the chrome clad ones, not my first choice but they look good...we'll see how they hold up.

I think what you have is the better of the two anyway, but I guess that's a matter of opinion.

Thanks for your opinion and response. I saw the new 2012 wheels on a F350 inside the dealership's showroom...and was like "Wow...that is what I need more chrome!!"......I have way too much chrome as it is and will stick with my boring alumimum 20" wheels!

just went online to build it and you can only get the chrome clad wheels with the chrome package. wish i new why they did that i think the polished wheels will hold up better in the long run.

I think they look pretty good, and very well may hold up better than polished alum w/ clearcoat. Time will tell.

Given the size of the tire sidewall of the tires, you would really have to hit a wicked curb to actually hit the rim. If you're planning on running through a rock garden, then you might have some issues.
