Re: Changed it up...new 17" steel wheels and stainless caps on my short bed

That's a nice modern look! If I went with modern wheels size that's what I would do. Looks pld school at a glance, which is what most people see going down the road.

The 18s look huge. Must be the low profile tire in relation to wheel diameter ratio. Looks like way more than an inch bigger.

Someone needs to reproduce hubcaps. I don't understand it. The wheels are out now and people squirm and fight to find hubcaps. I'm sure the big vendors know how hot the look is. And it's not a passing thing, it is timeless which is one reason people came around to them. That's why I always dug them
