Hey RedRide,
Where did you pick up the chrome rings that go on the outside of the wheels? I'd like to get some for mine and paint them red. Is that something you can pick up at an autozone or are they special for our wheels?

I got mine on eBay. They are top quality and I extremelly happy with them. It's an excellent vendor also.

It was recomeded to me that ABS chrome was the way to go and I totally agree.
ABS will not bend, dent and/or rattle etc and they have a very solid appearence.
Whatever you decide to get, be sure they have a rated depth of 1.75 inches to fit the stock steelies

BTW can I make a suggestion? Instead of painting the rings red, what about leaving then chrome and painting center caps red instead?
I have been toying with the idea of painting my center caps to match my carmine red body color.
The rings are beautifully chromed and it would be a shame to paint them, IMO
