"Description: Polished stainless with red center stripe. Just as original"
Mine's are off just now and certainly don't appear to be chrome.

I say just polish them up and you are good to go. Mine look as good as they did when I first installed them 5 years ago.

None of the stainless on my 38 attracts a magnet so my assumption was/is yours wouldn't either.
