I think it makes a dramatic improvement. Once common, full moon covers are almost never seen any longer, and yours have the attractive original shape. For a long time these were the most popular wheel cover design, until the "cone" style came along. Eventually wheel covers of any kind fell out of fashion in favor of baby moons, chrome wheels, and eventually mags. I think they still look great on the right vehicle when the other design elements all work together.

With the addition of the wheel covers your truck almost looks like a 1/25th scale model from the early 60's, which I think is very cool.
