Hey man have you figured out if the chrome inserts come out ??Thought about painting the wheels, but need to remove the oval plastic chrome inserts on my wheels...thanks
Damn that’s a bummer I talked to a Wheel exchange company near me and they said that if I were to exchange my wheels for black in color ones that I would keep my inserts and transfer them to a new wheel that’s why I was wondering if they maybe popped off or what the procedure was for removal.As far as I’ve hear the wheel will be damaged to removal
That's why I think they come off. I used a flashlight and magnifying glass and am pretty sure they are glued on. There are no fasteners in the back...If you come across this website again, please let me know. My local chrome shop can re-chrome the plastic black chrome...Can’t remember the website but I saw someone selling these.

Here's the site that I found selling the wheels pictured above. Quite expensive if you ask me though.
EDIT: I'm considering aftermarket wheels or a repaint as well, I have the stock Laramie Sport wheels also.
Yea that guy you mentioned had these wheels a while back, I posted a picture there of them. They show our wheels without the insert.

I may end up pulling them off a wheel. I talked with them through email, he said they use an adhesive to bond to the wheel. So I am going to heat them and pull them. Maybe. Unless there is someone out there looking to trade for these wheels. I am not in love with them, but like them enough. I will pull them from one wheel, if it looks bad, I will just buy once wheel to replace it. Its a gamble, but wouldn't be my first mod to a vehicle that was questionable from the start.
