Lots of us. Take out the hub cap and sand away. You can get a good finish, especially with your style rims. Neat time to paint them as well

We get that on every vehicle up here. Was gonna say there is that option but you wont get the same oem polished finish in the end. But like D said lots experience this and end up doing the same, just would have to do all entire 4 wheels to match, not just spot fix.
Maybe a pro wheel repair guy can spot fix and get the same finish ,... maybe. But that's $$$

sorry for the late update, i tried it all and it just looks funny. too different shades of metal etc. i watched some videos on dipping and i can pull it off with the plastidip skill wise. what do you guys suggest? matte or the gloss? i want them black of course. and i cant take the wheel off but i can cover everything behind it of course.

Corrosion is what made me dip my Tahoe, and then Denali rims. I went with matte, but it's all personal preference.

lmao says dave on mine.
yea im gonna dip mine. more i look at the wheels more i want to get them done. i think i will go with the gloss though because i do alot of city driving, mostly city driving, and the brake dust will show less. any pics o anyone doing a gloss plastidip?

Yea I know they came out with glossifier and I have a couple cans laying around cause I was gonna do the wheels on my cousins Silverado but we decided not to.
But now they have it pre mixed with gloss and the color in one can. Might be something to look into to order cause I doubt lock stores will carry it.
But throw up a pic of your truck. Decide if black is a good choice or maybe a silver or graphite might be a better option.
