Love the truck, hate the wheels. The design is fine, but on a truck that has lots of chrome, the matte-silver finish on the wheels stick out like small islands of ugly.

So... can I chrome-plate, does someone make covers worth a damn for them, or am I doomed to break down and buy new wheels entirely (even if they're a cast-off chromed ones from a different MY that fits)?

Still got plenty of tread, so I got plenty of time before I have a window of opportunity to do anything about it (and time before I can sufficiently justify it to the executive branch of my household...)

I'd heard of that, but I was kind of hoping to go shiny. :)

There are also some new powder coats that look very close to chrome

Yeah, U can go to the expense of chrome them, cover with wheel skins, or the ultimate of course: Buy new rims such as fuel, morimoto, too many to list

I have usually found by adding a lot more black rubber around the wheels makes a good overall improvement to the looks of the wheels
