Sweet!

Hey WWOTR You're right. Those wheels set off the whole truck. I'd like to do something similar to mine someday. I'm sick of my home-painted "Spoker" wheels with the cheap chrome hubs.

Looks good man, I have these caps,but I saw some on a chevelle with red centers and the crossed flags and now I want those.

I know its gonna be at LEAST 6 Months to a Year Before Bodywork/Paint, but I gotta tell ya, that just the addition of those Caps/Rings, went beyond my expectations! I let my Wife take it to the Post Office and Grocery Store, and she had 3 people admiring it.
(wish I coulda been there).

Might have been more than the truck that caught their attention.

You know, I think I paid about $140.00 with shipping for all 4 Rings/Centercaps. When one of the Center Caps "Tangs" busted, they sent me a new one....No Charge!

Their e-mail is: Barb@desertroseds.com
