Depending on how the chrome plating is applied (quality) it can lead to issues down the road. You have at least four different metals (wheel) on one product connected to something that (tire) builds a static electric charge which can result in electrolysis.
If the chrome finish isn't properly applied and/or if the wheels are damaged it can result in the plating flaking off or severe corrosion which can lead to pitting in the rim which can lead to tires perpetually running flat (and I know how the majority of you guys love to hate the TPM system to the point that you'd rather disable it) wearing and failing prematurely.
As an ex-tire guy, I've really come to hate a chrome plated wheel as I've seen a wide variety of wheels from OE to supposedly top-notch stuff suffer a variety of problems, I much prefer a polished or painted wheel because of those **** plated wheels.

There's a ton of customer submitted images of this wheel on 11-12 GT's. We don't have any decent customer submitted pictures of a 2013-2014 GT with these wheels mounted. Check them out mounted on a 2011 GT though, I think they look great!
Hit me up if you have any questions or need some assistance!

You won't have any issues with this wheel at all. The Deep Dish Chrome Bullitt Wheels look great on the 2011+ GT's IMO. It gives your Mustang that classic "muscle car" look that we all love! We don't have any quality issues with our wheels and if you do run into a problem, all of our wheels are backed up by a 1-year finish warranty and a Lifetime structural warranty.

Not chrome but.....
No problems at all with fit or clearance. (Keep in mind that I just replaced the springs in that pic and it hasn't settled yet) No complaints with the quality either. And I like the fact that no one else with a 2011+ seems to have them.

What color is your Mustang? Maybe I can dig up some customer submitted pictures of Chrome bullitt wheels in your color combo.

I agree, I'm not a fan of the Shelby emblem on a Non-Shelby Mustang. However, this photo was just to show you the wheels! This paints a pretty good picture on how the Chrome wheels look on a 2011+ GT.
