How hard you think this is to do? I was thinking about doing this to my 17s.

You''ll be better off trading for the same style painted 20's, and powder coating those. They don't exactly look the same under the cladding, and it's gonna be a bitch to pull them off. You could probably get some ca$h in the trade as well.

The only reason I want to pull the cladding is because the current chrome is starting to spider crack. I am not sure why, but it looks like poop.
