Decladded, Resurfaced, Polished GMC's
 

It was a pain in the ass to remove the cladding and pricey to get resurfaced but all worth it in the end! Specially since they aren't so popular... yet... phump

Waiting on my clear corners, z71 valance and new silver bowtie! should look ( . Y . )

Damn those are badass. What wheels are those again? Are they the NNBS stocker one with the hub cap things attached to them?

they are the gmc 20s chrome clad
the chevy 20s chrome clad are similar but 5 spokes

youre welcome hugo for telling you to get them wheels. :D

Looks badass. I have a set at home i need to declad just havent got around to it yet

Thanks Javy :cheers:


Have fun dude, i know i did! took me about two hrs per wheel but damn they look good! They get scratched easily so careful!

looks dope, always liked them, but never seen a set polished up!

:eek2: :drool: Looks awesome man.

Nice! What did they look for before?

Wheels look nice!!! On a side note, Is that a factory painted grill or an aftermarket one???

Damn those look sick!

I'm curious to see a set of these decladded and polished

Those look great, nice job. After you broke off the covers I assume there was an adhesive holding the covers to rims? How hard was it clean off?

I don't get why they bother with the fake chrome cladding... its cheap and looks like shit IMO. Not that the wheels are ugly before, but the way they go about it is just Pathetic...

those look amazing!

Looks awesome!!

I've got the same wheels, and love 'em. Get some Chevy center caps! The plastic lug nut covers off of NBS Chevy 17s will fit these wheels, too.

Do u have pics of the wheels before you polished?

:drool:

Those look awesome.

Big time improvement!

Man those look great! Now I know what my truck would look like with those on!

Any way possible for center caps?

Here's what your front will look like with your new z71 valence and Bowtie,

Yes. Mine have OEM caps on there. Not the best pic, but you get the idea. You'd need to get them resurfaced to match.

look like centerline stingray III at first glance

Great looking wheels. Awesome looking truck as well.

What do you mean resurfaced? Looks great

do you have a link for the caps?? i want some!!

just get paint stripper from home depot and it bubbles right off, the place where you get them coated/polished should also strip them chemically.

Factory painted

nope, sorry

that looks :pimp:

Thanks bro , gotta love black trucks!

How heavy are they? What exactly do you mean by "resurfacing"?

dont know how heavy but they arent light...
they had some curb rash and some deep scratches so they had to take some material off. Picture what they do when you turn rotors

:popcorn: looks awesome!

What exactly do you mean by "resurfacing" I saw you tried to polish them before the resurfacing and they didnt turn out. What did the shop do to get them that clean? i can understand polishing but they must have stripped them down. I can get the same set of wheels at work for 400 bucks, but i hate the silver look. How in the world did they pull of a polished billet look on those????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

resurfaced you say? What does that mean?

this is an example of resurfacing wheels except they don sand blast them, they sand them down with a sanding wheel...

They are all over the internet. They are 3 1/4 inch in diameter. Use Google and search for "chevrolet 3.25 center caps". As an example, here's a couple of sets of chrome ones for $100. I found these in 30 seconds. I'm sure if you dug deeper, you could find them cheaper elsewhere.

OEM GM Center Caps 20

His wheels look chrome-ish. The caps I have came polished. You'd need them to get resurfaced to match the chrome-ish wheel...or find them already chrome to begin with. I have no idea what the resurfacing process is like...I left mine in the polished silver.

Sweet thanks for the link.

And to think GM covered up that nice ass wheel with that ugly ass cover.:sigh:
Nice truck dude, and the wheels look great now. Wont take long for this to catch on.

Do you have to dismount the tire to take the cover off the wheel?

Those look awesome all cleaned up!

no but it makes it much easier

Almost looks like the centerline stingray ultras. What's the weight on that wheel?

I like those wheels. The new centerlines don't look very good to me, I liked the older design better.
