Installed my Set of Chrome Trim Rings and Center Caps this morning and WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
Took my Truck to the "Next Level".
Talk about Instant Gratification.

I've posted a couple of pictures here and made a Photo Gallery on my Website.

Sweet!

Hey WWOTR You're right. Those wheels set off the whole truck. I'd like to do something similar to mine someday. I'm sick of my home-painted "Spoker" wheels with the cheap chrome hubs.

I know its gonna be at LEAST 6 Months to a Year Before Bodywork/Paint, but I gotta tell ya, that just the addition of those Caps/Rings, went beyond my expectations! I let my Wife take it to the Post Office and Grocery Store, and she had 3 people admiring it.
(wish I coulda been there).

Might have been more than the truck that caught their attention.

You know, I think I paid about $140.00 with shipping for all 4 Rings/Centercaps. When one of the Center Caps "Tangs" busted, they sent me a new one....No Charge!
