Plasti-Dip. Sprayed them, then when I wanted a change just peeled it right off to unharmed chrome wheels. Also helped protect the chrome during the winter with all the chemicals and salt on the road.

UPDATE: Got my plasti-dip in yesterday started on the wheels today, got the front bumper back on with the lights it could fit better but its ok. I`m gonna try to rework it a little more get a better fit. My headers should be arriving tomorrow along with the bumper lettering hopefully. Here are a few more updated shots. WARNING the wheels are not for everyone. I respect everyone's opinion as long as I get the same in return as for modding to my individual taste. Full side shots of the wheels will be up tomorrow after I finish them. Thanks all hope you enjoy.
