Juanz, believe it or not they are early "chevy luv" caps that have been chromed and painted to match the truck.

Shaved white letters. Cheaper than wide whites and perfect for my rig.

**jayoldschool** · 06-12-2013, 06:42 PM

I love Enduro 75s, have them on my Caddy.

ChefCy · 06-13-2013, 07:52 AM

joe dirt · 03-05-2015, 10:37 AM

Cypher · 10-04-2015, 10:43 PM

To me, wide whites if you have colored wheels and skinny if you have chrome wheels.

Raised white letter tires have a full strip of white under a very thin layer of black.

This is what I started with

This is what I ended up with

**joedoh** · 10-05-2015, 05:53 PM

I am a blackwall kind of guy but I like thin whitewalls on cars/trucks after about 1955. I had blackwalls on my 65 but the very first thing the guy who bought it did was order wide whites

it doesnt look too bad, I wouldnt have done it on that truck but I see the appeal, in fact I just ordered the exact same setup for my 47.
