The center caps come loose when you take off the lug nuts. I used Duplicolor matte black wheel paint, rattle can. I just took the wheels off the van individually and painted them one by one. I used 3m scuffing pads to thoroughly rough up the silver finish and then washed them with simple green, and wiped them down with a prepaint degreaser/cleaner just before painting. Did the same with the center caps, the silver emblems on mine were very easy to get off, I just carefully pinched the little clips on the backside together and they slid out. I do believe this breaks the clips as they are thin plastic, so when I put mine back on after painting the caps I superglued the heck out of them inside & out, no probs yet.

we can still post pics using a host like imgur and bbcode

Thanks for the tip Mdsnyder108 Used that tire size and rattle canned the stock rims duplicolor matte black. With the V8 I didn't notice any loss in power. On a recent camping trip to Oregon I was averaging 17+ mpg on the freeway, pretty loaded down. The BFG's ride much nicer than the Firestones, quieter too.
