Anyone remove wheel covers?



I’m curious what these wheels look like without the plastic chrome covers. Anyone remove them? Looks like they won’t come off and be salvageable. Anyone have pics of wheel w/o? TIA

Is that actually a cover, or did Ford add PVD to the '11+ SD lineup like they have on the F-150s?

PVD you'll have to media blast it to the raw aluminum. Just buy a new set of wheels if you don't like it.

No. They’re definitely chromed plastic covers but stuck on with double sided tape.
From the back side I think I’d like the wheel, thus the request for a pic of one w/o before I make a mess.

I think it is a little more than double side tap holding them on there.

I think it's pathetic you spend 60k on a new super duty and you get steel wheels with a chrome plastic cover. What happened to the Alcoa 8 holes?

I agree. The only wheels that actually look decent on the 11-16 trucks are the lariat 20" wheels. All other factory wheels that come with these are awful looking including the 18s on mine.
