How do you guys do to make this black? do i just spray paint it black or does something go there?

I just got the wheels on today and love the look!

**Alec** · 03-11-2003, 06:53 PM

Black spraypaint.

**Rick** · 03-11-2003, 07:08 PM

If you want you can get caps which will fill the hole.

redShift · 03-11-2003, 07:18 PM

Your X just keeps getting better. You have the same great taste I do.

**Alec** · 03-11-2003, 08:15 PM

I tried to get the centercaps when I got mine and they didn't really fit because of the size of Explorer hubs and axles.

*Limited Ex* · 03-11-2003, 08:16 PM

Congrats David! I see that you opted for the wheel weights on the inside! Looking good man

**Rick** · 03-11-2003, 08:18 PM

I used to have center caps in my black steel wheels.

*Digger196* · 03-11-2003, 08:43 PM

Rick, do you still have them?

*Digger196* · 03-11-2003, 08:51 PM

Well, Limited Caleb was here first.. so off you go kid

rpenner54 · 03-12-2003, 11:13 AM

I used to have center caps. Then they looked stupid so I yanked them and used some good old Black spray paint.

Made it look a lot better then that chrome stuff!

*taxx* · 03-12-2003, 11:28 AM

Problem with center caps is the break easy off roading. If you want something use the stock X snap on ones and pop them on and off whether you are on road or off. I think That is whatI am going to do depending on how they look. Oh no I'm not changing bolt pattern silly me, but hey its a good idea for you.

*Limited Ex* · 03-12-2003, 06:48 PM

j/k

*Digger196* · 03-12-2003, 06:53 PM

well i went with spray painting it black. cheap and easy to do. here's how it looks:

*eXplorerchic* · 03-13-2003, 01:08 AM

Nice! I like....Digger are those 32's that you had on the stock rims just fit with only the TT/Shackels done?

I'm deciding on tires and rims....may just get some tires for my stock rims....are those you had on your stock rims 265/75R16's?

*Digger196* · 03-13-2003, 01:43 AM

i had the 32's on the stock rims and now they are on the rock crawlers. i just have the TT/Shackles/AAl done.

*eXplorerchic* · 03-13-2003, 01:54 AM

ahh so you had 15" stock rims...mine are 16" I'm just wondering what size to get to fit on my stock rims....all i'll have is the TT/Shackel mod too. I was just wondering if that size 265/75/R16 was = to 32's.

Did you have to trim anything with the 32's?

*Digger196* · 03-13-2003, 01:59 AM

a little with them on the stock rims but with the rock crawlers i'm having todo alot more b/c there an inch wider then the stock rims. oh well, only plastic
