just my 2 cents...
I was gonna leave a red stip or a red lip but my rims have those real stuipd steped lips so I couldnt do it good and a red stripe would make them look too much like those cragars or whatever they are that you see at pepboys.

I dont really know that average price beacuse I havent checked in awhile but I could do them real cheap. The only hard part about it is stripping them down to bare metal, if you brought the wheels already stripped to a shop I think it would be alot cheaper. Also yes they make a clear powder coat, they make powdercoat in almost any color you want from glow in the dark to chrome.

Because chrome cheels are cool on a truck that has no chrome to match them and if it does then its chrome painted plastic.

get your frame cleaned good and painted black that will make the whole set up so much better
