No Im going to Leave them chrome I think it looks better that way. And cost way less then some fancy "rims". If these get dirty or nicked Ill just redip them!

#2, just a little bit on the front end helps make the centers of wheels look right, it actually almost looks like a twd version of my truck, I powdercoated the factory aluminum wheels and left the center caps chrome, so yea, I like it:cool:
