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.
