my professional advice as a large fleet supervisor - no wheel covers on duals..
they offer absolutely nothing in performance gains and actually inhibit proper wheel and tire maintenance and inspection..
lug, stud, hub, brake, and wheel inspection and most importantly tire inflation are all hindered by aftermarket full wheel covers..
principally, valve extensions are the enemy of maintaining consistent proper inflation that is paramount for safe medium and heavy duty truck operation..
I can't even begin to count how many of our light and medium duty trucks that were delivered with those get tossed in scrap metal bin and drivers rattle can their wheels to taste..
and besides all that - they're fake and they look fake.. also often noisy - creaky and clanky..
powder coated or painted steel wheels and painted hubs and a fresh set of lug nuts are functional and look great..
black, white, grey, silver, body color, etc. all will look better over time and perform better and safer..
polished alcoa, accuride, etc. alloys or chrome plated steel are the way to go if you like shiny..
remember -
chrome won't get you home
