Does anyone know how to remove the chrome on the cheep 16" rims that comes stock on a silverado?? I want my wheels to look all black insted of that cheep looking chrome covers that are on there from stock.
I have seen in done before but i want to know how the chome covers are attached to the wheels?
Thanks

More than likely you saw some painted ones that were the factory grey like the ones that cames on work truck models.

I haven't ever looked into doing it, but it seems like the 'chrome' is nothing more than a plastic plate inset onto the wheel.

I don't see why you couldn't just pry the covers right off, and paint the center caps to match, but of course, I've never tried.

Another option would be to buy a set of factory spare wheels, they are the same style as the ones on it now, but painted black, and keep your chrome-covered rims for snow tires.

I happen to have an extra set of the chrome wheels if you are interested
