I wouldn't buy chrome as it WILL peel. If it is in your budget, consider going with the same style wheel in aluminum. The chrome usually lasts 4-5 years depending on your region and how you maintain them. If in a "salt state"......well they may last 2 years.


At least with aluminum, they can be polished.

Good to know, would I run into any issues with the following?
18x8 4.5 backspace - 245/45/18
20x9 5.0 backspace - 275/45/20

You shouldn't with that backspacing, but tires may rub at the top of the oem fenderwell due to the shape. It really depends on the amount of drop you have
