I like them but I think I liked the L-wheels more.

Would it be possible to polish the center cap on these wheels? I think that would look cool with the polished lip and the chrome lug nuts. I am not a huge fan of the total black out look. I prefer a few flashes to catch the eye.

i like the style of the L wheels more too...but like i said they made my truck look too close to a Lightning lol. plus ive always kinda wanted some 20's.

apparently the center cap used to be chrome, the the P.O. had them painted.
one of the reasons i was considering painting the lip is because the clear coat on the lip of one of the rims is kinda messed up in a couple spots...but its not too noticable so i probably wont mess with it for awhile lol

Wet sand the clear coat and re-clear coat the lip. If the caps are aluminum I would strip them then polish and clear coat. If they are the plastic chrome ones there is not really anything you can do.
