Little magnet would answer this post without the post ever needing to exist.

nice thinking! magnet sticks to chromed items but does not stick to either wheels. the aircleaner has been replaced with aftermarket so that comparison will not be possible

haha, when I get my camera back a photo will go up for sure, unfortunately my iphone got dropped in the intracoastal and im waiting for the 4g to come out to replace so I have no camera devices at the moment...So the magnet doesn't stick, so we can agree they are aluminum but it is possible they still might have a chrome finish. Ill do the polish check tomorrow morning.
