OK, so my wheels are very scratched from trail riding, but I am trying to get the Jeep to look better for those on road days. I was going to buy a second set of wheels, but then I'd have to swap them over, blah, blah, blah, before I could use it to explore. My solution? Cheap chrome hubcaps from eBay for $50 painted gray. I just pop them on for the road, off for the trail and they look pretty darn good:

That looks great man how much were the hub caps if you don't mind me asking

 

Four caps were $50, free shipping. I spent $12 on primer and paint.

 

thats a genius idea. You cant even tell theyre caps

 

Thanks! That was the idea! I stuck them on as chrome just for laughs - gees it looked awful.

The other nice thing: if I decide to change the color, it is no problem.

 

I gotta say...I'm shocked! Looks great!

 

Holy friggn crap that was a good idea!!

 

Looks good! Well until the next rock rash! Nice work

As an altwrnative, i took my wheels tp macco, they matched chrysker mineral grey for $25 per wheel. 5 year warranty as well.

 

Matt, do you need to know the paint code or anything for them to do that?
