what is behind the rim is a dust shield(a piece of sheet metal that is cut to rim diamater and lug pattern) I dont know where to get these at. but if you find some i would paint them with a high heat paint because the will be come part of your braking\wheel system. Other wise your paint will just flake and bubble.

Im sure you could make some, just cut the diameter of the inside wheel and drill the lug holes.
I bought mine used on ebay..normally sell for like $50-60/pair i think. They are made by Kleen-wheels or similar name.
They are called brake dust shields to keep the harmful brake dust off those expensive rims..even if they are factory. they work great and even have little cuts in them to allow air in to cool the brake rotors when driving.

they sell them at any autozone or o'reiley's for about 56 bucks. they work really good, my friend has a pair for his 18's i just dont like looking under the truck and not being able to see through the wheel. i dunno for some reason i like that.
