Just bolt it on and go :burnout:
It has the same bolt pattern as your car came with. Should take all of about 5 minutes to change.

Thanks Plumbeeper.  I will get this wheel out to you on Tuesday.
Also heard good things on MOPARTS.

Both. I usually try to get one ready and sell it on Ebay about every month or so. This usuall generates enough business to keep me busy for 2-3 months. Not to mention the business I get from CCC, Moparts, etc...
It's hard to keep one ready in stock for very long.

Working on it. I'm on my third plater now. He's had it since Oct. 06
Those chrome shops are always short handed on the specialty department.
The only option at this time is the metal finish paint that I've used several times. It's nearly undetectable, but it is still paint.

I ask because I have 2 that need done.  More importantly to me is the convertible top latches that are the same metal plating.  It is not chrome.  I am unsure if it is a cadium plating or what it is.  If someone can do the rimblow and tuff wheel they can do the latches.

It IS chrome. It is a satin or matte finish chrome. The factory used a copper, nickle, chrome finish on them, it's just that it has a matte finish, not a shiny bumper style chrome. Any chrome shop can do the shiny stuff, but it's hard to get them to do the matte finish correctly. The convertible latches have the same process. Once I get this process fine tuned, I'm sure it will not be a problem to do the latches as well.
