I started with this:

My buddy did this:

And now it looks like this:

Did some trading around to get it done. Total out of pocket expenses? $32. I think I did pretty good

Impressive skills.. plus it looks great. What did he use? Scuff then paint?

 

[RickD]

Yes Sir. He had quite a few hours into the scuffing and retaping. They turned out great though! It's nice having friends that know what they're doing lol

Oh man I would like to see that reversed! I like the black face with machined look angles, so the chrome would've done great. Regardless some serious taping skills, he did a nice job!

Would it have been easier to unscrew the clad from the rim? Just small screws on the backside of the rim, no sense lugging around a Tire and wheel for a piece of plastic?

The chrome plastic is glued onto the wheel removing it is somewhat permanent and labor intensive.

Reversed? I didn't think of that. That would be really neat looking I bet
