Hi Joe,
I don't have wire wheels but when I get them they will be painted not
chrome. Just personal choice I guess. I think the painted look better.
Maybe all the originals were painted?
I have heard that if you have to heat up a spoke to adjust it, the
chrome will discolor, but painted can be repainted.
