Rim Size and Bowtie

[nysmedic]

I am looking at the Cragar Soft 8 but I do not know what size I am supposed to be getting.
I have a 2012 Tahoe LT.

I am also looking to paint / vinly wrap my Bowties(front and rear)

Is there an easy way to remove them or should I just put a sticker over them?

We have a 6x 5.5 bolt pattern. Both of those wheels have a 0 offset which I am pretty sure will stick the tire out a bit from the fender.

the front bowtie will unbolt from behind the grille. You have to reach behind through the hole where the hood release is. you will feel 2 small (10mm i think) nuts. The rear is double taped on.

use plasti dip, its simple and removable if you dont like it....plus you dont have to take it apart to paint it

I am looking for the exact same rims to give it that cop/aggressive look, do you have to buy the mettal center caps separately?

Looks great, did you remove the bowties and dip them or did you brush it on?

If you want the glossy look of the original emblems then put about five coats of clear enamel over the plasti dip. Did mine and my buddy's this weekend and they both look great

I went online and ordered some carbon fiber wrap. Easy to put on and it has lasted for a year now with multiple trips through the car wash and baking in the Texas/Louisiana sun. I also Plasti Dipped my grill to get rid of the chrome. Good stuff. Although with all the driving I do I need to reapply from rock dings and some pretty nasty bugs.
