New 35" Vortracs on H2's, need your opinion

Since I got the truck I've been wanting to level it and put 35's on H2 wheels, 3 years later it's finally done!

Anyhow, with a little help from a member with a CNC machine I've got my rims machined, the center hole and the area around the lug nuts so I can run the RAM caps as well as a set of GMC caps, thanks to Spankdog who gave me the idea.
Which should I go with?

GMC Cap





RAM cap

It would look a lot better without the big ugly boat rack, my wife says I should take it off when I'm not using it but that's a lotta work and then I'd hafta reseal everything.

I like the GMC caps. Did you have to get the threaded lugs off of a gmc/chev to run those caps

SpankDog found some caps that fit into the center of the H2's without any mods to the wheel, mine look the same but were a bit wider so we milled that part of the wheel too. (Mine are off a 98 GMC)
I'm going to do a thread on the process soon.

The GM plastic lugs have threads on them that are meant to go onto the GM lug nuts which have matching threads on them but they have a different thread than our Ram's so I couldn't use the GM lug nuts.
The plastic nuts fit our lugs nice and tight and I just tapped them onto the lugs, kinda like the plastic lug nut covers on my RV. with 8 of them holding the caps on they aren't going anywhere.
