Do you like these center caps?

Let me know what you think, I had flat caps (disc brake) on it before.

Re: Do you like these center caps?

It is a decal so I can peal it off. I am also not sure about it. What color bow tie would go with the red wheels? I thought a contrasting color would look good, and it has a blue bow tie in the grill.

Re: Do you like these center caps?

Since you're asking for opinions...

I don't really care for it. It's a 40's style cap on a 60's style wheel and truck. Just kinda looks out of place to me. I like either the disc brake(as you said you had) or the police caps.

Re: Do you like these center caps?

I have the Police caps on my wheels. The dome of the cap comes into contact (on the backside) with the dust cap on the front axle stub. I'm not impressed with the Police caps, now. I was....but that was then. I'm digging the caps on the wheels of a '57 3100 that is on the cover of the lastest issue of Classic Trucks magazine. They look like '56 hubcaps,with a little paint work to make 'em different.

I had the same issue with the flat caps, they hit the dust caps on the front. That is not a problem with these.
