Re: Caps or no caps

I like the caps. Without caps you could get some chorme lugs? Just my 2 cents. Thats a nice truck no matter how you rock it.

Re: Caps or no caps

Yeah I was thinking about chrome lugs nuts myself. I just slapped some spray paint on the wheels to see how I liked it before I spent money to powder coat them

Re: Caps or no caps

Chrome lugs and some bullet center caps would look nice. I like the caps.

Re: Caps or no caps

I prefer "no caps". Possibly with some chrome lug nuts.

Re: Caps or no caps

Either way its a good looking truck, but I prefer no caps. I'm not a huge fan of chrome.

Re: Caps or no caps

Thanks for all the feedback and compliments guys. No offense taken on the rings. It's seems the moons I have are impossible to get on though. You think I have the wrong size or are they just hard in general? The moons where given to me from a guy with a c10

there is those little nobs on the wheel that they stretch over, totally normal for it to be tough.
i start it on two of the nobs and force it over the last one, when you take them off i use a cheap crow bar with masking tape on the bend to prevent scratches to the paint

not sure if you were able to see my pic but check out how mine without the beauty rings

no rings will definatly make the white walls pop more and make it look lower than it is

what size tire you running up front?
