I was told by someone that the chrome on the Cragar SS is really cheap, is this true?

I can't tell you if it's cheap, but I can tell you that every old Cragar SS wheel that I've seen had the chrome either peeling or missing from the centers. Chrome doesn't stick to aluminum very well. The centers are aluminum, the rims are steel.

I know the chrome on the Cragars on my wagon sucks. It looks good from 15' but up close its peeling off the centers and rusting on the rims.
