is it possible to remove the chevy center peice from the stock 18 inch ss s/c wheels, i want to get rid of it.. can you and how do you? also, is there replacement center peices?

 

when i get my wheels refinished, i am going to have them match the color, so they look the same, rather than gunmetal and silver...... it will be all gunmetal with the gold bowtie...

 

Yes you can, but I'm not exactly sure how. I know the wheel has to be removed from the car, but beyond that, I don't know. I would think there is a snap ring or something like that on the back side.

 

u think?......

cuz i would like to remove the chevy emblem aswell, but i havent looked into it. i have my doubts that it is that simple. i'll take a look tomorrow.

 

I think they may be pressed in. Are they the same as the steering wheel emblem? If so, I'm pretty positive they are pressed.

 

The round center piece can be popped out. Just take the rim off and push from the inside with your fingers or the handle of a hammer or something. Just push it out, dont try to hit a home run with it. The chevy emblem thats on it, is actually molded into it. So, you cant remove just the emblem. You'ld have to replace the entire cap.

 

wheres a place we could find plain cap replacements minus the emblems

 

^^^ yeah

 

^^^ yeah

 

The simple answer? Nowhere. That's a Chevy part. It does pop out very easily, but there are no blank replacements that you can just pop back in there.

 

Go custom made, call up a Machine Shop or somthing, and see what they can do

 

yeah what hack said..... go there if you want to pay out the ass, youd be better of using a da sander, and some body filler,(if needed) and then just matching the paint.
