MARTYW Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) I have the factory silver wheels and 2 of my center caps have an odd white looking discoloration on the chromed center section. The paint is perfect, just the center parts are discolored. Has anyone else had this problem? Also, are there any fixes for this besides replacing them? I am open to all suggestions though. Maybe stick-on covers are available? I want to keep the factory look on them. Thanks for any info or ideas?

2005SuperSport Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 It hasn't happened to me...but goodluck getting hubcaps. I've been on the waiting list for six months. The dealership promised me a set when I bought the truck and still no caps.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAKSSS Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) I think that is a common problem, mine don't have it but I have seen other SS's with that same problem. I think I've seen a set of those grey center caps on ebay you might want to check there. They weren't too expensive.

Cramer Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I had Jon idahoblkSS make me some chrome inlay decals with a black custom SS font for mine. They are holding up great after a year and a half. Give him a shout on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Have you look at LMC truck parts? I found them in there awhile back. They are like $140 for 4 of them. Here's a link. http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/ce/full.aspx?Page=122 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty this is a joke at SS truck, sorry, couldn't resist he'll get the joke Edited September 29, 2011 by Bad Ass Silvy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stg313 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 That happend to my center caps as well. Trust me when I tell you, DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE THE CHROME STICKER IN THE MIDDLE! It was freakin hard to get out and once you did there was a huge build up of glue under them. I ended up just painting over the glue. I recommend just getting stickers to put right over top of the stock stickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryRH Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I've been looking for chrome center caps for the longest. If anyone has any insight on those that would be great! I went to that lmc website and they were $190 each that's $759.80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARTYW Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Thanks guys. I may just try to find a couple on ebay? I am glad to see they are still available at retail vendors. I have used LMC before for some S10 parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
