Re: center caps

Steel wool or some metal polish will be as good as it gets. The price for re-chrome you will be shocked $$$. I have always looked at swap meets and wreckers for better ones. They also come in plastic versions via aftermarket.

Re: center caps

I have glass beaded them , then repainted the silver and applied clear over the whole cap. It`s not chrome but looks pretty good.

Re: center caps

I just waited and kept my eye out for a pretty good set and snatched them first chance.
