If you really want the look of chrome or polished wheels, save you money and get the real thing. These are a cheap attempt at giving you the look of actual chrome wheels. The Titan (all 3 trim levels) is too nice of a truck for that.

The above of course was all IMHO.

Don't know anything about these but the chrome wheel skin seems fairly common for the auto manufacturers. The chrome 20 inch wheel on the Ram uses this type of wheel cover.

WTF?

Sounds ghetto to me...

Just save your money and get some real alloy wheels. Seems that wheel skins are a cheap cover up solution...

I think they are awesome. I'd like to pair them with a good set of curb feelers, a stick on hood scoop, and a bed top spoiler.

don't forget the upside down nike swoosh in the rear window and let's lower the whole dang thing til it scrapes the ground

heres a pick of what the wheel skins look like,,,dont mind the ATV tire..unless u want to buy it PM me

isn't a chrome wheel skin the same thing as a plastic hubcap from walmart? I also hear they have those plastic chrome spinners there as well, maybe you could pick up some of those

. I do have to admit though, that they look pretty good in the picture, it's hard to tell they are fake.

While I personally wouldn't put that on my car, I have seen manufacturers use these on other cars. My friends Grand Am has some of these on, which we only found out by accident. She was cleaning her wheels and said that when she tried to clean the inside she felt a lip.. I checked it out and sure enough, they were caps. She had the car for 2 years before we even knew this.

Oh, so these things are rigid. For some reason I thought they were like shiny stickers you put on the wheel, seriously. I was thinking it would be really hard to get them on straight. Man, this puts a whole new light on them. I'd still not put them on my truck if you paid me to endorse them, but at least I get it now...
