FYI, I haven't heard back and I just called and an employee answered and said they are swamped but he wasn't aware of the email and my contact was with another customer and he'll ask him to call me back. I resent the email too.

I might have a couple of those caps.
Are you having trouble finding any?
Just was looking to buy brand new ones.
I can get em at the junk yard. But was trying to find new.
Haven't tried like lmc or anything like that yet.
Just Google and Amazon.
But, I can't get over the chrome center cap. And black would just be too much black.
So unless I find a color that work on the wheels besides black, I'll probably just burn these tires off and go back to the 20"s .

I was going to hit the A arms with a grinder today, to clearance for the 16"s.
And found a couple wheel weights in the driveway.
So, the 20"s went back on for now.
I didn't like the look of the fronts being as big as they were anyway. So I'm going to buy a cheap pair of used smaller 16"s to put on the fronts. See nice I have to have them rebalanced anyway.
Gives me 2 sets to burn off. And time to get the 20"s swapped to the next ones and rebalanced themselves.
Here's how it hits. Full lock.
So wouldn't take a lot to clearance them.
Then... Putting the 20"s back on. I found this
Dammit. Think I figured out that vibration lol.
Then, also seen this.
I'm not sure if they stuck em on, then moved them when it was being balanced, or if I lost some others. But it sure looks like there were some stuck there before.

Think I found a happy medium for the steel wheels.
I painted up the caps, an there's no chrome. And they aren't black
Little bit of Mexicali spray can chrome isn't as bad lol.
Almost went black in the center though.
Still debating it.
Also, when I was leaving the shop, I have this quirk where I have to watch the door come all the way down and stop, before I'm happy and drive away.
But my head was hurting and a family tragedy happened yesterday, so I wasn't thinking and just drove away while one was coming down still.
About a block away I decided I HAD to go back and look, so I turned around in an abandoned parking lot, and found a replacement center cap
SCORE! Lol
It'll replace this crushed one. Which I AM going to do with a black center with red bowtie, just to see what I think.
