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!

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.
