You buy black wheels with better offset, and set your factories in the corner of the garage, or you sell em ... Plasti-Dip is a cheap fix that looks like crap ... JMO

Why do people insist on putting cheap $100 cosmetic band-aids on nice $30,000+ trucks ? I just don’t get it ... Decent good looking wheels with better offsets are not that expensive ... If you live in areas with snow and salt, you save your factories to run in the winter

First off, I wouldn't pay $30,000 for a pickup.

Second, I don't have a disposable income to pay for a second set of rims when the stock rims are fine.

Third, I've seen these on a friend's truck, and they look real good, and they stay in place. I have a 2wd, and do not plan on off-roading at any time, so not worried about damaging them.

I made a suggestion, that's all. These definitely look better than Plasti-dip as it won't peel

Dip the caps, the wheel under the OEM chrome cap is not as finished as the painted wheels and is also covered in glue...

Clear coat plasti-dip works wonders on your nice rims to get them though the winter. When summer hits you use the plasti-dip liquefier and clean them up good again. :)

I'm with you, "Not that expensive" is a relative term. Honestly if I could find some of the factory black ones, I'd go that route. Problem is, the guys around here that are selling them want quite a bit.

Plastidip/paint is cheap. And if it doesn't work out right, I can try something else. Wish they made those black plastic covers for my wheels.
