Plan to leave them chrome and have someone duplicate the factory GMC stickers that are on the steel wheels and put that in the center of the cap...

Something like this, sized to fit in the center of the cap, but with a dark charcoal colored lettering

Those are stock Esky tires..

285/45/22s

Bridgestone Altenzas

Clear everything just fine, and best of all since most Esky owners arent affraid to buy new tires just because "the tire guy says so" then there are plenty of half treads running around on Craigslist..

Old tires would spin easily, were quiet and didnt leave black marks...

These however leave HUGE black marks and "Squall like a mashed cat"..

(My appologies to the ASPCA for that statement)

Also i was concidering the Murdered Out look. It is somewhat played out but if executed it looks pretty good IMHO..

What do you think?

Go for the full murder or keep a lil chrome for the bling factor?
