    Ok guys. I let my truck hibernate in the garage this winter and the center caps for my shitty rims started flaking. Do ya'll think I should color match them to the truck, try some chrome spray paint, or just the rims stripped and powder coated?

    I'd rechrome, too. Another really cheesy thing to do is go to a sign shop and get chrome tape to cover them with. I know, cheesy but better than nothing.

    When you get back down here PM me and we'll take them to my bro with the wheel repair shop. I can get them rechromed pretty cheap. The last set of Impala SS wheel ran $99.00 each completely chromed. It's possible that they've gone up since then but he can repair just about any wheel out there and make it look like factory again unless they're trashed.

    Yeah. I&#39;m cheap, but not Ghetto . I&#39;d rather leave them off than do that. But I might neeb to invest in some lock lugs. Thanks

    Nitrous,

    Thanks man. I &#39;d thought about doing that, but there aren&#39;t any rim shops up here. I&#39;ll definately hit you up on that when I&#39;m down there. I&#39;ve got some curb checks on the rims( from the wife ). None of them are terrible, can he fix those too? I would without a doubt get it done &#036;100-&#036;200 is by far cheaper than a new set of rims. Although I am thinking about investing in a decent set of 18&#39;s for the track. I just can&#39;t find a sticky 20" tire. Thanks for the input guys.
