Hub cap help!
 
So I made the wrong wheel decision early on with my truck. I chose just some 15x8 and 15x10 80's truck rally wheels. Powder coated them very dark grey. I'm now finding out I don't like the look of NO contrast between the wheel and tire. So what I want to do is somehow put some dog dish hubcaps on THESE wheels. They of course are not made for caps like that but hey, we customize stuff right? That's what we do.. I'm also going to put 3/4 white walls on after I can get the dog dish caps on somehow. Any idea on how to do this, anybody?

chrome trim rings and a place like wheel vintiques has quite a few different type of chrome hub caps/// would really set them off and make them more visable

Are you making 5-lug like he needs,too? If it was my truck I'd use 88+ center caps and narrow ribbed stainless rings

So does the cap snap around the spacer? How do you get cap off without damage to your wheel. Thanx

there are clips that mounted to the Spacer they pop off like a hub cap should and I also powder coated the wheels

I need something like this, would like to see with clips on. Do you make this for 8 lug 3/4 ton application.

Check out Astro Van center caps & narrow bands. That would be my choice or some white 71-71 steelies and hubcaps

IMO, some "spider caps" and a red pin stripe around the edge of the wheel would look sweet!

Somebody just buy my truck so I don't have to decide between 20's or hubcapping these and buying new white walls... :(
I'm selling it anyway, but wheels can make or break a deal for a lot of people. Not for me personally. I'd love to choose my own.
