Stock lug caps in place...


Or this way








I sanded and painted the centers and then painted the ends of the lug studs. I think it looks good a little more industrial.

Thanks for the input... I asked my wife and all she said was they both look good. I think especially on the black truck it looks tough.

It's a public forum, thanks for the comment, I do think it looks less polished. It looks more blingy with the caps.

I think the only way it would look good for the no center cap look would be, a hub sticking out in the front to match the full floating axle in the back.

So I guess I like the caps on.

I think it looks like somebody stole your center caps.

I like it without the caps, I have been thinking of doing the same thing. Just too lazy to clean and paint the centers.
