Looks great, did the same on our white XL and added the chrome trim rings...

The trim rings look great. Are those the stock silver center caps or did you replace them? I was concerned the silver paint would not go well with the chrome rings.

Did you paint, Plastidip, powder coat or do what to the wheels? Love the look!

I used Rustoleum enamel, semi-gloss black, with a spray gun and air compressor. I cleaned the wheels before masking and scuffed the original paint with a 3M paint scuff pad (linked in post 39).

Left the rim of the wheel and hubcap silver, painted the rest semi-gloss black. Not for everyone, I'm sure, but I like it. ;)

Awsome job. I thought that chrome beauty rings would look good. But now I rethinking that and yours is looking really good. I have a FE hybrid CG scheduled for next week(3/14). Can't wait for my build day...

I like this look much better on the Oxford white than I do the cactus gray.

Looks sharp! That was quite a bit of taping you had to do.

Looks super! I'm doing this to my Oxford White Maverick as well and also adding some striping. Thanks for sharing that awesome mod. Waiting on finding the right paint as I don't have a paint sprayer. Any suggestions on the best paint I can get out of a can that will last?

I have no experience with it but Rustoleum sells a spray can specifically for wheels, it's about $6 a can at Walmart.

Looks real good. I can really appreciate a simple and inexpensive upgrade that people can do at home.

Really like how this turned out. If I ever actually get my Hybrid XL in Iconic Silver, I definitely plan on going this route. Had 2 concerns with the XL going into it - cruise control and the wheels. Thanks to this site I've found reasonably simple and inexpensive fixes for both.

Now I just need my truck to get here...
