I wish I could find that shop. I am in the same boat as nubbins...
I can't find the 20s in silver
I found chrome 99s for $275(shipped). but no silver.


Who has 20" Silver Replicas???



Thanks,
FF

TX, it sort of like that but worse, almost like there is no more powdercoat it that spot that it outgasses at.
i might have to resort to that stock silver metallic

You cannot chemically prepare aluminum castings.

You will also weaken the metal. Not a good combination.

Texas L love those black centers

on 03-04 wheels! Presume they're stock 18's by the tires on them? If you don't mind me asking, what did it cost you to get them done and where? Any comments from refinisher about affecting structural integrity of wheeL? Kinda like your outside edge only in silver, but wondering if just powdercoating the 5 spokes in red would also look good.

Maybe some manufacturer makes a 20" deep dish 5 spoke with painted centers that could be refinished to match truck's paint? Anybody know of any? Thanks!

I may have to give up on the 20" reps unless I can find a decent price. Anyone know of a real good looking silver rim for an L that's Silver? I plan to powdercoat them black and polish the lip. Or do you think I should just powdercoat the spokes black on my 99-00s
?

FF,

Did you call Raymond? RUNVS posted his number up on the first page of this post...Are you also looking for the 20"s in 99-00 or 01-02?
