Throw them on e-bay and by the polished aluminum rims... there where two styles ... the Chrome clad and the polished aluminum.

You can not take the chrome off the rims, they are heavy duty strength epoxyed to the wheels behind, u will more than likely damage the chrome cap and also the wheel underneath...... i would not reccomend trying to remove the caps

It's easy to do on the 03-05's... Don't know about the 06's...

A guy posted pics on how to do it a while back.

If the pastic chrome looks bad, I wonder if a nice colour keyed spray job, after etch primimg the plastics would work well...........? [sm=bling.gif]

Colour key the wheels to your body colour. (we spell color .....colour in the UK ha ha).
