The finish is teflon. Its a grayish blueish...? And they are 125.5 hubs on truck are 125.22 close enough for me. They fit up with no more movement the the factory set. And I hear ya on a little chrome. I'm keeping the bumpers and steps chrome. So theres a tiny contrast

Mine are 130.81 on the website as well. But the box says 125.5. Check the box.

I bought a set of perfectly matched ones, 124.9 - 130.8 from 1010TIRES.COM® — Tires and Wheels Absolute Authority.. They were the only ones I could find in the exact size. The wheels are advertised as 130.81, so if there's only 5/1000ths of an inch on either side, I should be good with that. I'm not worried about the load bearing aspect of it - i want them centered for as little vibration as possible.
I have a set of 16x9 American Racing wheels on there now and they're ok, but there's a little vibration. They were rebalanced within a month (i had a valve stem blowout). The best I can figure is that they could be off a c-hair and that may be causing the vibration.

If you do it correctly this is a non issue. Star pattern solves this, also not torquing until they're all hand tight.

Ya that's sort of an obvious statement, but when you're talking about a big heavy wheel and tire combo, it's just nice to be able to have the wheel do the work for you. One and done without having to fukc with it.

This is a must on big rigs. Fixes the problem of working lugs loose.
