Those so called 18" chrome wheels are actually chrome clad plastic wheel covers bonded to an aluminum wheel. Tap the chrome with your finger, just like the Bentley Continental grille I tapped at the dealer, plastic.

If they are OEM then your tire is mated to the aluminum lip and not chrome (look closely at the lip, bead, and chrome). They are also ridiculously heavy.
