Once you put 'em on, I bet you have to leave on there till you are ready to paint rims again! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | I bought mine at a "show/fleamarket" for my panel. Chrome over stainless for $75 total. Yeah, they are rough on paint but hopefully I don't have to take them off....at least anyway soon! | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | well the only time you really have to remove them is to change a tire ... providing you don't care to clean under them

They are very flexible and don't leave any marks. They're almost like chromed plastic! They look great! | | | | | Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 162 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 162 | I bought mine from Golden State here in Carson city.
