I would stay away from wheels with chrome.
I have 3 piece wheels very similar on my 04 Targa and the chrome has corroded and flaked on the inside causing bead seal leaks.

I now have to get them repaired/refinished.

In talking with a bunch of wheel guys, they all basically told me the same thing. Chrome will corrode and flake on the inside over time and cause the leaks
