Dually Alcoa question

[kevinr1970]

I didn't understand what you were saying at first but now I think I understand.
Yes, the Alcoa center caps are installed from the outside.
What I was proposing is to run the mounts for the simulator hub covers under the compression ring - between the compression ring and the outside of the wheel. Similar to what monte0185 has on his wheels.
Seems feasible, but if it is a risk of a mounting failure then I will forget the idea?

Looking through the thread I think you are talking about, it looks like he took the Alcoa lugs and had them zinc plated, then used the stock centers.
I have the centers, and the lug-nut caps/covers but think the simulator hub covers would be a cleaner look.

My gf is telling me to stop dinking (or another similar word...) around and just buy the lug nuts and get on with my life!

Unfortunatley theres not really any alternatives. if you look up txfirefighter dually buld you can see what he did. pretty similiar to me but he has alcoa caps.
