Best Chrome Wheels For 2022

Moto Metal’s focus is on wheels for truck and SUV owners. The MO962 is a one-piece, cast aluminum alloy wheel with a triple chrome plating finish made to not only look good, but to perform on the road and even take some hits on the trail. Owners love the simple, classic eight-spoke look of the MO962 as well as its fit and structural durability. Issues tend to arise with the chrome plating either pitting sooner than expected, or in one case arriving blemished from the factory. Moto Metal offers a lifetime structural warranty and one-year finish warranty should you experience any problems. 

Founded in 1990, ASA (Artisan Spirited Alloy) produces good aftermarket wheels, particularly for European models, and is an inexpensive alternative to brands like BBS, which ASA entered into a design licensing agreement soon after ASA was born. While not made for the rigors of track days or motocross events, the Type 8 is a classic, stylish model popular with owners of older Mercedes-Benz models. The chrome-plated Type 8 brings a touch of flair to your Benz, but is currently only offered on Tire Rack in a 16-inch diameter. 

Ultra’s chrome-plated Hunter is popular on pickup trucks and can complete a rugged custom look with a slight lift and big tires. The split eight-spoke design is eye-catching without being radical and a wide array of available sizes means nearly every vehicle owner can find a set that fits their needs. That said, the split-spoke design can be a bit of a bear to clean, and as with any custom wheel and tire setup, finding the exact fit can be a challenge. Measure twice and buy once with confidence, as the Ultra Hunter comes with lifetime structural and one-year finish warranties. 

Sport Muscle wheels are targeted at modern muscle cars—Challengers, Chargers, Mustangs, Corvettes and the like. The SM22 has a striking design with five sets of forked spokes providing a wealth of angles for the light to gleam off its chrome plating. Reviews are varied but largely positive, with many negative reviews centering around comparisons to more expensive wheels. Issues with the plating or a lack of finish on the inside of the barrels are the exception rather than the rule but check on them if you decide to buy. The one issue that seems undisputed is their heavy weight. Flow-forged wheels may come in lighter but will be pricier than these wheels.

A brand produced by the Ultra Wheel Company, Platinum Wheels carry a clean, luxurious take on the chrome wheel that is timeless and contemporary, ideal for modern SUVs, crossover and sedans. Quality and craftsmanship at a fair price are hallmarks of Platinum Wheels, and the Flux 435C is no exception. The 10-spoke Flux 435C is a bit edgier than it appears on first sight; the chrome plating adding an extra sense of sharpness to the design. Lightweight and durable, it’s hard to find fault with the Platinum Wheels Flux 435C. The only real complaint we saw was one consumer whose lugs didn’t ship with the wheels.
