Show off your Chrome Plastic Rims!!!!!

Come on, you know you've got em, so share. I'll even go first. I took off the 22's that came with my truck (Hated the ride) and put the stock tires back on until I can sell the 22's and get a nice set of Black and Chrome wheels. Stock wheels aren't bad, but I've got an itchy "gotta change everything" gene and when EBay offered a 10 percent off coupon, I couldn't pass em up. Install was simple, just slap the @#%& around the edges until the little plastic clips grab the inside of the wheel. OOOHHHH!!! SHINNY!!!! My neighbor even asked when I upgraded to Chrome. I told him I made a killing in the plastics market. So, I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
LET THE FLAMMING BEGIN

And yes, that is part of the inner wheel well dropping down on the drivers front tire. A present from the 22" when the airbags dropped the truck to the ground. Still working on a permament fix, (Duct tape for now) but it looks like I'll have to replace all four inner wheelwells soon.

Lovin' that 2 tone................yup I did it too. Until I get wheels, I stuck these damn things on and now they are ON. Hard to remove without breaking them-lucky I like the chrome plastic look. May actually go with real chrome wheels.

If I can find center caps to go on them, I'm up for it untill I can afford the real ones!

I thought about that myself. If you go on Ebay, there's some vynil graphics companies that make the "H" logo. I had some made in red for my 94 Civic with all black wheels. I may look into getting some for the ridgeline as well.

RustyH, those things look good from a distance. Could you show some pics close up, especially the edge next to the tire bead. I've been on the fence over getting a set. Thanx.

If you break one, I have 2 on the trading post.(w/center caps) The one thing that I didn't like about them is that you can't remove the wheels with them on. The one that I had mounted for my wheel experiment cracked practically in half when I removed it to remove the wheel.

Not bad at all... Now if they were plastic spinners, we would have to ban you from the ROC...
