You painted your rims. What type of paint should I use? I guess what I'm saying is, would there be a possiblity to get some chrome paint and just spray it on there? And the 2nd part of the question is, how much is the paint?
RE: Scratched Rims - What are my options?
Do NOT use the chrome paint.. It's the most hideous stuff ever. Your wheels will look 100x worse.
If you want shiny chrome wheels your only choice is to get them refinished. Buffing may help some, it just depends on the type and depth of the scratches that you have.

yea i banged one of my stock 20's on my 06 last night on a curb at a bank. really pissed. its not terrible just a good deep gash. they are the same style as helopilot's. so they are just plastic covers??? i looked at it once when it happened and havent brought my self to inspect it more yet.
Yeah well im not in the same state as my truck right since i'm sorta on vacation, but i'm going to get those bitches replaced. I want my rims back to looking normal. I was kinda pissed because it really was just like me driving then all of a sudden o ****, i'm stuck. Rocks and all sorts of **** just tearing my rims up. anyways everyone, thanks for the help. I'm going to try to contact the dealer to get the plastic cover.

Some of the 02-05 20's are Chrome Clad. All of the 06-08 Chrome is Clad. There are some 02-05 that are not Clad. Just go knock on them and if you hear an odd plastic like sound then it is clad if it sounds solid then it may be the real chome wheels.

Keep in mind that upgrade would be a good option for ya. 22" SRT-10 wheels sell on ebay for between $12-1500.
Here's a chrome set cheaper than that http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/22-22...QQcmdZViewItem

Are your rims Chrome or Polished? The polished came with the early 3rd Gens(02-04 I think.) I believe the Chrome clad cover is mounted in a way that its permanent. But I'm not sure so PM Helopilot, he is pretty knowledgeable even though he fly's Chinooks...LOL!
