Yea, not chrome. If you got a good deal then fine. But if you paid a higher price for something that is supposedly 'chrome' then you got ripped off. Nice wheels tho

It's too bad there aren't colored lug nuts for OEM wheels.

Those definitely aren't chrome. Get your money back! Or sell to me for cheap. I'll come get them myself too.
