Holy smokes. Those are some good looking wheels. I was going to keep my Rubicon rims because they are gun metal, not chrome. But now I need to reconsider.

I'm thinking of doing this what if you just sand them with sand paper?

Default Finally FOUND xd rim STARS in Blue, Red, Pink, All colors for Rockstars I & II wheel

Hey Guys, I finally FOUND xd rim center cap STARS in Blue, Red, Pink, etc for our Rockstars I & II wheels. They were super easy to install and now I have a personalized star wheel look!
These stars mount right over the original chrome "XD kmc Rockstar Series 775" and I believe the also have the new xd 811 star version as well
No paint, no tape, no glue, no sanding and no mess. They are ready from the box and it only took me 10 minutes to secure them in place over the current center stars. By the way, my 7 year old finished the installation on the other side. Jeepy Yeayy!
In case you change your taste in color, they are interchangeable to suit your own color combination. They may also protect my original silver center Rockstar. But I mainly bought my set of 5 pcs for the awesome customized look and easy installation. It seems like all other options listed here can get messy! So I hope this helps, you may get yours at Jeeptology Google it!

thanks in advance
