The decision is, satin or flat. The Gatorback coating I got for the cladding is a satin finish and a few shades blacker than the original colour. Flat looks good in a Mad Max sort of way. I think satin with just the quarter inch edge at the bead lip taped off (and left chrome) might be killer. The Isuzu centers will become a VX to match the grill emblem (all five of which may become red, along with the big Isuzu out back) I bought new side emblems (the old ones are disintegrating a bit) but then they'd have to go red (might be a bit much) or go away. Whatcha think all?? You know how much I respect and value your opinions. Chop
    I'd go satin, flat can be a drag to keep clean...I like the idea of leaving the edge chrome.
    Also, if you use clip on weights on the outer rim,( I know,blasphemy) I'd leave more like 5/8"-3/4" exposed chrome.
