They either came with wheel covers over steel wheels, or optional chrome wheels.  :read2:

Keep in mind that the chrome rims were chrome outsides with welded in painted centers.

If you are referring to the wheel well trim, then the answer is yes, it was a factory option.

I'm sorry.. I think that several of us thought you meant chrome rim trim.

Yep.. stainless molding were an option as the others have verified.
