Are the chrome wheel skins on a 2010 Silverado steel wheel metal or plastic? I took a magnet to them and it's slightly attracted. Not sure if it's the skin or the steel wheel that's causing the attraction. I recently had new tires put on and then they removed the original wheel weights it lefts big dents and scratches on the skins. I personally like the look of the wheels, but I'm not a big fan of the damage from the weights.

They're a plastic coating that has a chrome plating. I think I saw somewhere on one of the forums where someone peeled it off and painted them black or gray.

I believe they are a cheap tin. I remember seeing ray pull the covers off and it was a pita!
They are glued on really well. The remaining glue is a pita to remove too

I found a few places online that have factory replicas that "snap on" that are made of ABS plastic. Thinking about going that route since the dealer wants around $60 each when the replicas are $75 for all four.

I believe they are some type of thin malable tin or something close.
Here is what i did to mine.
Once i had the cover off a simple orbital sander with 220 took the glue off effortlessly.
if you take a razor blade to the thick pieces of glue it takes it right off too.
