D*#n! I just put my order in at JBA's website for the chrome ones about 30 min ago. I figured I would just have to paint them black when they got here. Oh well, maybe I'll like the chrome. 'edit' I just check the price too, they're only half the price of the Cragers!

I just painted mine with bedliner. Worked great.

I love the Chrome..................................... Although I'm referring to chrome center caps on a chrome rim.

You didn't have any problem fitting it through the rim, because mine was a pretty tight fit. Tried painting it black (with Rustoelum spray paint) and it scratched it up pretty good.

No issues whatsoever fitting it through and I've bashed and dented my caps on rocks and they are barely scratched.

Yes, they do require maintenance. I apply cleaners and polishers to my chrome parts about once a month to keep everything shiny and rust free.

0311_DoC ~ Thanks for the heads-up. I went ahead and ordered the chrome Gorilla caps as they were cheaper than the black ones, only $3.99 a piece. Even their price for stainless steel caps wasn't too shabby.

Rust is not a big issue in my neck of the woods. Besides, I have plenty of rattle cans, just in case.

The Gorilla caps arrived last night. The quality seems just fine. Not to shabby for less than half what the Crager caps go for.

so how do you like the silver cragars? Did you put the TPMS valves in your cragars?

sandracer · **Posted:** Wed Feb 18, 2009 10:01 pm

Yup, the wife and I both like the silver Cragers. The TPMS sensors fit just fine. I just haven't gone down to the stealership to get the computer reset for the new sensors.
