this is an example of resurfacing wheels except they don sand blast them, they sand them down with a sanding wheel...

They are all over the internet. They are 3 1/4 inch in diameter. Use Google and search for "chevrolet 3.25 center caps". As an example, here's a couple of sets of chrome ones for $100. I found these in 30 seconds. I'm sure if you dug deeper, you could find them cheaper elsewhere.

His wheels look chrome-ish. The caps I have came polished. You'd need them to get resurfaced to match the chrome-ish wheel...or find them already chrome to begin with. I have no idea what the resurfacing process is like...I left mine in the polished silver.

And to think GM covered up that nice *** wheel with that ugly *** cover.
Nice truck dude, and the wheels look great now. Wont take long for this to catch on.

Do you have to dismount the tire to take the cover off the wheel?

Almost looks like the centerline stingray ultras. What's the weight on that wheel?

I like those wheels. The new centerlines don't look very good to me, I liked the older design better.
