Folks is it possible to replace these particular style of wheel skins? I would really prefer black ones, but can’t find anything for this style specifically.

I tried skins and those ruined rims scratched rims when removed, then I plasti dipped them. In the end, cheap rebel knock offs is a good play for me. But paint will be better then plasti dip. You don't have to spend 2k to have good rims, and rebel knock offs use factory offset as well.

If you like your style, check these out 600 bucks for the set, wow?

Note, your style posted from eBay has a different offset then rebel knock offs and OEM offset of +18. Those rebel knock offs are hard to beat in those pre 2018 4 gens, value and style. Just something to consider.

That little red truck would look awesome with black rims......
Not a chance in hell,lol. I hate black/gold rims,with me it's chrome or nothing. I'd drive on steel rims,before i spent money on aftermarket high dollar black rims. :Big Laugh: I have a passionate hate for the black rims that were on the 1320,but i'm to cheap to buy replacements for street use,so i lived with them:Big Laugh: I liked it alot better with the Bogarts,but they were only on it at the track,i never did get a pic of it,with all 4 Bogarts on it,

My 2 cents - chrome looks ok on darker colors. For lighter colors, I much prefer the blacked out look. Although ALL black can look good too.

Yes, the wheel skins can be replaced and it's sometime cheaper. I'd look for a set of used ones o CL myself.

Old school here, too. Black rims make me think of police cars or someone who can't afford hubcaps. Although, my 300 has dark gray wheels, but it came with them when I bought it used. They're 20x10s which are 2" wider than stock, and I can feel the fronts rubbing if I turn too sharply. I'd love to go back to stock-sized chromes.

Yup,it'd match the rest of the shiny parts like the grill/fender badges etc. :Big Laugh:
I dunno... these Platinums come with the Infiniti wheels on them. I'm a fan (except when it's time to buy tires).

Our charger was the triple nickel and we loved the dark gray painted wheels. Our last Expedition had gloss black wheels. I dig it myself. Now.... my truck needs chrome wheels IMO. Everything else is chrome and it just fits.

I was blacking out cars in the 90’s . But is was usually the ones I sold. Pulled wheel covers & made the stock black steely’s clean. Then black out from body line down. Sold a lot of like that. Then some time later the dealer cars started with the blackout. However I prefer silver or chrome . No shiny alum. To much work to clean. I had the alum mag. Kidney bean style on a 67stang. What a pain to keep shiny. Still like that style on the 60’s muscle cars though.
