DIY Pimping the 16" Steelies on the 2019/2020 Ford Ranger XL
My nephew asked me if he could enhanced the look of the "dull" looking 16 inch steel rims on my Lightning Blue Ranger XL. I said "why not, there is really nothing you could do to really improve the look" - I stand corrected - all I could say is "wow nelly!" and "pimping gone wild" (Some people will do anything to drive a Ford Ranger.)
(See pictures below - before/after during the day and reflecting/glowing at night - awesome light show!)
He obtained the Futura 16 inch chrome plastic wheel covers from Pep boys (Part # KT898-16CS SKU # 9163546) He also got royal blue Holographic 1/4 Mosaic Prism Sign Vinyl Plastic Sheeting with adhesive coating, then cut a Pac-man shape, for the hub and then added highly reflective 1/2" 3M 3435 Blue Micro Prismatic Sheeting Reflective tape to the wheel cover spokes and sealed all tape/vinyl edges with clear varnish (3M Edge Sealer 3950 - nasty VOC-use a fan or outside) for superior weather protection. (Tip: If you don't properly seal the tape/decals/vinyl "edges" they will eventually fall off due to water/moisture penetration)
