[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2872781, member: 9374"] Indeed... I kind like some of the XDs. Was looking at new rims today online and those have grown on me. Sad they're so associated with the redneck dbags. As for having my chrome wheel sandblasted and redone, I don't know that it would be cost-effective. I mean... I would have to have them all taken off and broken down, then carry to the sandblasting place, however long that takes, then take them and have them rechromed - not sure how much this would cost, at all. Or have them powdercoated or something. I'd also probably need to find new centercaps. This might be the most difficult part, as I don't even know the manufacturer of my wheels - I got them from some place in Tulsa and I think they've gone out of business since, so I can't go back to the shop. The centercaps are plastic, so they wouldn't be amenable to sandblasting and recoating, I wouldn't think? I don't know for sure, though... I'm thinking this whole process (if I could get the centercaps replaced or refinished), would put me at a minimum of half the cost of new wheels, maybe as much as 2/3 or more? If anyone's got experience with this, I'm all ears. [/QUOTE]
