Weekend wheel redo
Here's a few pics from yesterday. I put the aftermarket chrome cap on the rear wheel that the guy gave me when I bought the wheels. He had two of the factory caps which the tabs all fell off when I pulled them off, and these two chrome caps. I found a set of 3" snap in chrome caps on ebay that I'm hoping will actually work. The nice thing with the 98+ Blazers is there's no spindle end that sticks out through the wheel, so I could actually use a flat cap if I could have found one. I found the black plastic lug covers with no flare from my Camaro SS and put those on as well.






Too bad the corrosion spots are starting to darken up after I thought I had them all sanded out. The two wheels that were the worst are the most noticeable. I just have to keep telling myself "they're only winter wheels". I'll make sure my IROCs are polished better when I redo those in the spring for summer wheels. I need to find another rear or two more fronts though as I noticed one of the rears has a severe curb gouge in the lip. The other 3 are good but just need the clear stripped and polished up.
Final pics I took tonight just as it was getting dark. Chrome aftermarket caps 3" are really too small, they're actually 3 1/4 at the thickest point of the clips, not 3" as they measure on the opening. I silicon-ed them in place and they're holding fine.
