ru sure? i thought mine were metal too until i unscrewd one... it turned a little bit and i thought "sweet, theyre bolts"... then it popped off like the cheap plastic pos that it is

i put it back in because a bunch of empty holes looks kinda ghey IMO

i have been looking for some replacements because the chrome is coming off of mine but i cant find any..

Maybe you can tap and screw some new bolts in. Perhaps with a hex head or something cool like that....

What you think? Could that be done?

Those look like the black steel wheels I had on my jeep which were 50 bucks.

i was thinking about tapping them and puting in some hex bolts but taping 16 holes per wheel, NO THANKS. there was also the idea of getting bolts that are slightly smaller than the hole then siliconing them in or jb weld. OR finding another plug, Im just glad i got the fake plastic bolts out.

plus i am more into looking settle and not flashy, the fact that everyone thinks its a steel wheel is funny because i have not seen one steel wheel with spokes, all have round holes, plus all black wheels look cheap just cuz they are black like a spare. I personally like the look.

well it made my tires look even bigger also, so once the lowering shackles go on, the wheel well will be filled.
