Man, those caps and wheels are going to look fantastic on your truck with new rubber!

FWIW, I painted mine. Don't think I knew there were decals for them. I got some pinstripe/very narrow 1/8th" stuff that really helped with the detail. It was a lot of time. Admittedly, I'm not a quick worker, but if I remember right, I think I had about 20+ hours into them. I had them powder coated, so I had to do some detailed sanding too, to knock the gloss off all the painted areas.
But I'm happy with how they turned out.
