Dually guys, have a question about wheel skins

My front "plastic retainers" broke about 6 months ago. I didn't want to pay a couple of hundred dollars for 2 new front wheel skins. I painted the wheels black an reinstalled the caps on all 4 wheels. I am getting tired of the look and would like to get the truck back to looking the way it should.

Does anyone know of a good place to get new ones or even aftermarket skins made of all metal that will hold up better than the OEM's?
Thanks,
Jim

I have not used any of these sites...just found them. Assuming you are looking for OEM plastic.

Some thick foam pads around the perimeter to hold them centered while the center caps retain them, might work.

Appreciate the reply Tony, I think I am leaning toward find something in stainless w/o the plastic retainers. It's a shame a $50k truck has plastic skins on it.

I'll pass on the "pads"

Anyone have an source for stainless simulators?

They are proud of them, but they are stainless

Pacific Dualies makes a nice set, they look almost exactly like the OEM ones just without the rams head in the middle. This set made by Phoenix over at Geno's Garage is also pretty nice.

Thanks, I had looked at those and they do look nice and well made, just didn't know if there was anything else out there.
