Default 20 Inch Chome Clad Wheels

Was able to get my Chrome Clad Skins off my wheels, but I'm unable to find replacements for them. All aftermarket are for a different wheel. I went to the dodge dealer and they stated you have to get a whole new wheel. Seems stupid when they sell them for less than $100.00 for other aftermarket skins for dodge trucks. Any help out there would be greatly appreciated.

Don't believe those are supposed to come off. You will have to buy a whole new wheel. Those type wheels have the plastic covers made onto the wheel.

Always wondered how that went on there. Sucks you have to buy the whole wheel.

I have always wondered what can be done with these rims. Can you clean up the aluminum and call it a day? Leave the covers off?

You could always remove all of the covers and powder coat the wheels.

Hello,

I wonder how you take off the skin cover?

I noticed that there are Custom Wheel skin in the market. Are they ok for you wheel?

Because i also want to replace the wheel skins and i bought another kind, which said they are compatible with my 2013 Ram 1500. But it is hard to be installed, and not beautiful as the original.
