I like no caps



then changed to no caps and black wheels



then went back to chrome wheels, I am over the black wheel look



my current thought

Who knows, I may change in a coupel weeks.


again, no caps is my vote. Just keep them painted and they will look great.

I like it with the caps. IMO it kinda looks like a person wasnt looking after their truck. Just my opinion of course though ( I do like the way you painted it all up, it looks alot better than what I would have thought it would have)

I agree, I think it looks better with the caps. But as to chrome or black I don't think you can go wrong with either, the black does look good with a debadged truck though.

This is a tuff one for me. I still go back and forth on the center caps...with or without.


with....





without.....





I like them both ways, but at different times....I may not like either. It can depend on the angle, view of the picture even.

I really give a major thumbs up to the "look" NRiver has on his first pic with that size tire....(I think 35'' x 12.5 bfg mud terrains) and the satin finish wheel with the painted axle tubes/lugnuts. Awesome! And the blacked out look in his 2nd pic is nice too. I am just not a big fan of the "bling" wheels in the 3rd pic...but it really all boils down to your own personal tastes.

I like it better without the caps. The plastic caps on these trucks are hideous. I hate the caps on these trucks for a several of reasons:

1: They are plastic and look cheap
2: They have fake lug nut indents on them. I hate things that look fake, especially when there is real lug nuts underneath
3: They are UGLY plain and simple

But with that said, I haven't removed my caps yet, cause I just haven't found the time to paint the hubs.

Without!! looks tough, but paint your lugs and I think it would top it off.

So I guess I like the caps on.

I'm half and half. I think that it looks good on the back, but not so good on the front. You get an A+ for effort and the idea.

If you are talking about my truck it is 4wd but not leveled sitting on 315's it might just be the camera angles...

Thanks for the comments.


I like them off to me why put fake lug nuts over the real ones? To me it looks tougher plain and simple sure something is missing compared to other trucks with the caps becuase we expect it too look like every other truck out there... with caps.

I like it like this for now who knows in a month though...

Funny thing, I had my wheels off for cleaning/rotation saturday, and when I put the wheels back on I said to myself...Ya know, that doesn't look half bad without the covers! Freaky......
