? chrome Gumbys
I took the rear Gumbys off today so I could install my splash guards. Of course while I had them off I cleaned all of the rear wheel well area, suspension, etc, call me crazy
, cleaned and polished the Gumbys.
My question is, should the wheels have any GM casting marks? I dont see any. These are on a 2011 purchased new and I know they were not an option for 2011. Aftermarket? The reason I even ask is because the chrome on the backside of the rims look very thin and fragile. Looks like I am really going to have to stay on top of these things to keep them from deteriorating fast.

Some see a resemblance between the cartoon character and the spokes of the wheels. I'm not so sure. 
And just for full disclosure, the GS wheels were nicknamed "Sid" after the Ice Age character but it never really caught on like Gumby.
