i got my wheels and tires put on but havent put the center caps on yet, i'd like to because it looks good, but i'm thinking i'll dent and scrape the crap out of them on the trails. Anybody else use them, if not any tricks to hide those ugly rust sores (spray paint)?

 

I run center caps and have never even so much as nicked one, not even on the rock heavy trails that tax the crap outta my sliders.

 

center caps are for looks only. they look great at the mall

 

You're worried about center caps???

Never dented any of mine except for when I lost 4 lug nuts on 1 wheel & it got tweaked. But I've been running my Dodge w/o caps this summer so far:

Rear:



Paint is your friend. It's held up so far. I have the caps, but had trouble painting them.

 

Center Caps arent going to get damaged on trails, wire wheel the rust and spray paint. I don't have them, oh yeah and without them it makes tires look bigger haha.

 

run them. i like the finished look. i have dented mine and scratched them on a stray rock or two... still look good tho!

 

I have my stock center caps on. hides the scratches and rust. lol

 

i hav the chrome covered ones and they rusted on me, so i bought the stainless steel ones,havnt put them on yet and they say they wont rust. i'll see when i get them on.

 

mine look just like the black rims above with the chrome center caps.

mine are starting to rust so they will be painted to match the wheels one of these days

 

I have black center caps. Ive only had them about a week and they havnt scratched on the trail yet. Even if they do...spray paint.

 

got them on my D holes and havent had any damage to them...

 

only reason i have damage on mine is becuase a rut shoved me into a rock....... but otherwise they look new! and there is only nice little scraps on it... nothing terrible!

 

but malls are where the girls are

 

trails are where girls are too... best of both worlds if you play it right...

 

***off topic!!***

yup! today i was the only one to bring a lady friend wheeling...


***back on topic***

if you dont get center caps just paint your brake drum and front hub nut black so the rusty's mounting surfaces dont show thru!


but personally i think the look of center caps just completes the look. black or crome
