Wheels?

So I got these wheels for $100. All of them are in excellent condition. The guy tells me they are stock rims but they don't look like my stock rims. He said that they are "chromed aluminum. Can anyone identify these? Tires have very even tread wear and probably have 30,000 miles left on them. I think I got a pretty good deal.

Here's the truck with the rims on. Looks good. Not bad for a total of $1100 invested. That includes the cost of gas for trailering it home with a blown engine.

Pure chrome wheels??????
isnt chroming just a process to give the wheels a shiny mirror-like finish? so you have a wheel made of finish? i dont think so.

I got a set like that not long ago for free, i cant wait to use em.

I guess that chrome wheels are generally chromed steel so these, being aluminum, should be substantially lighter I guess.
