Chrome Wheels? License Plate Frame

[IndianaVX]

speaking of chrome wheels peeling,
are you guys loosing air in your tires? wondering why you have to check the air every three days???? i now know why!!!!
after waking up on tuesday to a flat, i took the tire,( with the awful yellow spare on my rig) to the tire shop, they aired it up, and checked it, and said no leaks.
24 hrs later, i went from 30 psi, to 13 psi. took it to another tire shop, and they found a leak around the wheel weight. great, i thought. they smeared some tire sealer/tar looking stuff on the weight, dunked it again, still a leak.
soooo, they popped the bead, and lo and behold, looking at where the tire seals against the wheel was peeling chrome.
so, the guy put the tire tar/sealer stuff all around, both sides, and now no more leaks, on THAT tire.
so now, im gonna have him do the other 3, because they all leak too, just ALOT slower, but they still leak
so, just a heads up. been a couple of days, and still at 30 psi.
hope i didnt hijack, but just wanted you to feel better about NOT having chrome wheels

More great info, (I don't consider it a Hijack) I took another look at my wheels and I'm still not sure. It doesn't really matter (Unless I start leaking air or chrome starts flying all over the place) Atleast I know what they were talking about. Mine appear to be chrome or nicely polished on the face of the wheels, but look more of a dull (plain old aluminum) inside areas. I'll look'em over better someday, for now they look great.

I've seen several license plate frames, maybe one of them diamondplate models or a black plastic... Dunnow. (By the way, the plate frames on this site have the notches for tags at the top of the frame. Looks like most states have the tags at the top of the plate, while mine are at the bottom).

I don't think the 99 rims were chrome, they look like polished aluminium w/ a clear coat to me.
