Trailer rims or covers

[4x15mph]

Can anyone point me to some options for a quick and inexpensive way to dress up these generic, galvanized (?) rims that I have. I would like a simple cover versus buy new rims.

I have a set of chrome stock MFI rims at a fair price. One even has the spare tire still mounted to it. Used 2&1/2 years. I have no ideal what shipping would cost.

I ended up painting my galvanized rims black with Berliner pain before buying cheap wheel covers at Walmart for $20 a set. I've lost two wheel covers since but bought a spare set so it's all good and a lot cheaper than rims. All three alternatives are fine choosing between them is a personal / financial thing.

If interested and you could wait, I may be going to Reading PA over Christmas time frame and you could pick them up there.

Also saw several posts on the old site where members sprayed them and their trailer with plasti-dip spray coating.

Plasti dip. Do a search on you tube. The results are impressive.

Mine are plasti dipped after the "chrome" started peeling off.

I'll start with plasti-dip. My son did his car and it does look nice although the saab OEM Rims looked nice. He said that if I take the wheels off, he will take care of it.

Thanks for the help.

Damn, I need a son like that. I think mine would only offer to check out my work when I'm done.

I may be going with out wheel covers soon as I lost two more on the way out camping the weekend.

Wow - I like the look of the covers that you have so I will look at wally world.

Haha, I will send my son over and you can have him for the next 5 years. He will plasti-dip for you but you get to send him to college (engineering = $$).

Done - I might try this. I will have them plasti dipped as well so that the silver doesn't show thru. If I lose a wheel cover, I can also just keep them bare.

I bet if I would have put the wheel covers on when the paint was wet I'd still be on my original set of four.

I may switch to something like you posted when I use up the wheels covers I have now. Those three color wheel covers look nice. Please share the source / brand / price info.

That does look good. I need new tires and maybe I will get those covers too.

The above covers were found here: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Pilot-Automotive-WH527-15RE-BX-15-inch-Wheel-Cover-Cobra-Black-Chrome-Red/40190533

Unfortunately they will not fit my 14" wheels but Pilot Automotive (manufacturer) has a lot of great options.

The new rims arrived ($55 for 4) and they are on. Here is the before and after which I think looks a little better. Yes?
