Weekend wheel redo
#21
i'd go with the black lugs, they would suit it perfectly.

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.

damn Zeeke! they look really good with the new chrome caps on, just the right amount of "bling". guess your Summer rims are the next order of business, since these came out so well.
