The chrome on my wheel is now corroding, its bubbling up on the top edge just below where the spokes meet, i bought the chrome ones to prevent this happening

a phone call will be made on monday that i can tell you

that would have been the best reason to not buy the chrome. If its not there it sure can't come off.

thats VERY POOR,
i have a 79 t140 with original chrome rims and there is just a very very small sign of corrosion where i left it one year forgetting to spray them ,some moisture must have settled on the rim. considering for some years it wintered outside (under a tarp) and ran in the snow/grit thats the standard that triumph hinckley should be emulating. not bubbling after a few months
for the chrome to bubble so early ..... hmmmm ...... is worse than harley

agreed...had several Triumphs from 1972-1975 and all had good solid chrome that last for years...... new chrome is for shits
