Question 18" Sport Design Wheels

Anyone have photos of the Sport Design wheels with the centers painted black or grey? If so, would you please post a photo(s)?

Thank you

Thanks for the photo but if I'm not mistaken those are Sport Classic wheels, I'm looking for photos of the Sport Design wheel.

Oops !

Try posting a picture in a new thread, and I am sure someone would be willing to do a quick photoshop edit job for you. Best of Luck!

I think these are the Sport Design wheels. If you are looking for a set I still have these wheels, no tires.

How complicated is it to paint the centers? Any idea on cost? I think it would look nice on my cab. Hmm did someone say slippery slope?

I took the centers off myself and had a paint shop spray them with their toughest black with toughest clear top coat. $85 each two years ago.

Was it hard to remove the centers? What is the torque setting for reassembly?

It was a lot of bolts but not hard. Just make sure the triple square have full grip so you dont strip the heads. They are hard to find Titanium bolts.

145INCH lbs is the torque. Do half first cross torquing then the full on second pass. Do a retorque maybe after 20 miles with the wheels off the ground(no load).
