Rust Aluminum Rims

Will chrome rims/wheels rust?

I’m about to buy 20″ chrome rockstar rims for my truck, but have been warned against buying chrome because they say it will chip and rust severely. I was told I would be better off getting a high polished aluminum. Is this true?

I’d prefer chrome, but I dont want to spend money on something that’s going to be ruined in a few years. Please help!

Be sure to keep them very clean. Tiny steel threads from atmospheric contamination that land on the rims will rust and start to bond to the wheel. Any chips or scratches may result in rust areas also.
