Default 18" chrome clad wheel ideas??

after looking what seems like forever for a set of wheels for my Screw, i was wondering if anyone has "blacked" out the factory wheels? i am not talking about the whole wheel, but instead maybe the little "U" shape on the spokes. I have brought home some vinyl from work and if i get a chance i will do one wheel this weekend to see how i like it. but i do like the all chrome factory wheels once they have nice AT or MT tires on them. i just can't find an aftermarket wheel i like enough to fork over serious money for a set right now.

IMO the chrome 18" rims plastidipped looks like total crap, like steel wheels. Go aftermarket or stay home IMO

YESSS. Plasti dip is a bit played out imo, at least for $40K vehicles. Unless of course you paint over the plasti dip I would dip the hell out of an older car.

I like small touches on my truck, like the mirror reflectors and I'll eventually do the badges up in black/red. Otherwise, it doesn't touch my clearcoat. But the guys that cover all their chrome with flat plastidip makes me sick.

I completely agree, all I can bring myself to plastidip are my mirror reflectors. I can't stand too much plastidip.. Looks cheap and quite gross haha
