Anyway she is a girl and she needs the bling!!

Since there are a lot of deer around atm, we didn't take here for a drive last night, that's all we would need to hit one of them!!
They look polished (and they look good). Chroming is bad for wheels, especially aluminum ones. The chroming (and de-chroming) process causes hydrogen embrittlement and makes the metal more brittle. The chroming needs to be done by someone who really knows what they are doing (like a materials scientist) to retain strength.
