Default Wagon Wheels Revisited
Having chrome wagon wheels on my 99 and lacking funds to replace them right now, I opted to try a set of stickers to give the wheels more dimension. I am happy enough with the results to leave the wagon wheels on for now.

Great job, completely different look.

I have a set sitting in my garage if you ever get enthusiastic about doing some more......of course it would cost more than they are worth to get someone to pull the tires off and ship them to you!!

Well done. They look great. Sometimes it isn't the money but the ingenuity that can make for a good change.

I purchased the decals from southerncarparts.com. These would be easy to cut yourself if you have black vinyl. I was just too lazy to cut them myself so I purchased them.

I doubt too many will rush out and get wagon wheels so they can polish the turd with the decals!
