wow check these out C/K-20 hubcaps
 
5 Attachment(s)
i just picked up my hubcaps for the rear of my K-20, on the way i was kinda angry about what the guy was charging me to straighten and polish them but when he handed them to me i almost fell out these are way shinier than nos ones that i've seen,they're like chrome or a mirror! I'm scared to try to paint the blue/black because they look so good like they are if anyone wants to they can send yours down and get him to polish/straighten them. now i'm gonna have to send my super nice fronts to be polished to match they are way duller(new word) let me know what you think about painting the black/blue or leave them all polished thanks and enjoy DST:c2:

vinyl is a great idea. If you want shiny, you can always pull the vinyl off.

Damn that's sweet.

I'm with Longhorn Man, what do you mean when you say "straighten" and what does it cost per hubcap? I could send this guy some business if the price is right.

Thanks,

actually they were average condition caps a few dings here and there you can still see where they were if you get the light on them just right. the price was $50 each:o but he said if i had some that did'nt need straightening they would only be $20-$25 I've tried to buff some of these and can't even get close to the shine on these i could have bought just about any wheel out there for what i got invested (sand blast,paint,polish,stickers)but they are the only way to go in my opinion

Well yeah, hubcaps are cool, but those are way too cool. If I could ever find some original GMC caps, I would have them done up that way.
