Some of the 'show/display' cars will have chrome wheels.
Tires are mounted/demounted dozens of times in a NASCAR wheels life. Chrome chips/peels from flexing, weighs and costs more, and can be blindingly bright during a pitstop.
Waltrip's wheels on his 'go' car were probably 'Almost chrome' powder coated.
