the only chrome moonies youll find that dont rust are the original german OEM
ones.   all the brazillian crap that some of the new  parts vendors sell,
they hold up as well as the aftermarket bumpers.. the chrome isnt triple plated,
and it wont even last a winter.

BTDT.. id rather have 20 yr old OEM hubcaps with a few fist dings in them
from smacking them on (its inevitable) than some new brazillian ones..
