What Can I Do With My Front Rims?
I bought a F-350 last year and love the pickup, it's in great condition considering it has 125,000 miles on it. I don't have any good pictures of the pickup just the one from the day I bought it with a bit of snow on it. As you can see it's a nice looking pickup with a new flatbed, new tires, the cab is in great shape. The one issue I have is the front rims, they are trashed. Last week I thought I had this solved, I bought a set of simulators to cover the rims but they didn't fit. When I spoke to the guy I bought them from he told me that I had the upgraded alloy rims and they didn't make simulators for them. Any thoughts on what I can do? I use this pickup exclusively for pulling my horse trailer, about 5000 miles a year or less so I don't really want to put a lot of money into new rims which is why I was hopeful the $180 simulators would fix my problem. That was for all 4 wheels, the backs are actually in pretty good shape. What can I do?

You can refinish them fairly easily. You dont have to remove the tire, just prep the area well. I used VHT rim paint. Just follow the instructions with prep, prime and paint and they should come out nice.
