Umm well, how much? What would you charge to paint them the stock black color on my blazer? For some reason I really like the look of it. It was something I was gonna do toward the end of the year or so..( late December )

I don't know, I want some american racing mavericks so make me an offer with painting them. The caps are GMC if you didn't know.

I had the trim rings on my 91 Sonoma & hated them. The clips scratch the rims & allow rust to form. The trim rings are kind of hollow, it's an inner & outer ring with a space in the middle that will hold mud & crap that can throw your wheel balance off. I had a lifetime allignment / rotation / balance deal. Some of the tire guys would re-balance with the ring on, some would remove them. I got the shits of chasing vibes and finally threw those damn things away.

Mine are fine, but I don't do that mud bogging bullshit either.

I was in my early 20's back then. That truck had a hard early life, I've learned a lot since. I pretty much hate mud. Rocks is about all I do now. No dunes around here to play in. frown.gif
