jim, i have not tried to mount a hubcap to the wheel yet, but i am hoping they will.

greg, depending on how your monitor shows the color, it looks way better in person. my laptop doesn't show the color like it should. they might look better on the desktop comp. though.

I love it Ezer... need to find you a cheap set of these for them... I love the looks of these... just not in my budget for the Econoline though... So you will be doing the interior in the same color???

anthony, i had planned to do the seat in a similar color. just not metallic. lol
i don't think they make spider caps in 5.5 spacing. i have also heard they are a pain to install, but i think they look good.

I don't like the spider caps myself. They ARE a pain to install and fairly expensive.

I got the push thru bullets and bullet lugnuts from a guy on ebay for half of what you'd pay for spiders...i can give you his info if you want it. Also, PM me your cell number and I can take a picture of my wheel setup for you so you can see if you like them and if it's the look you're going for....i think they turned out awesome! And I am really digging that wheel color choice of yours

I just cant figure out how to post a pic on this site at all, haha

I like the spiders if the backing plate is painted the same color as the wheel.

I like them ezer!, and the seat would look great in metallic!

get a little bit of paint around the lip of the rim otherwise it will stick out, just saying.

wes, finally got the first coat of wax on the mailbox. it is what inspired me to use that (general) color.

got the wide wheels painted. dog hair and all. anyone want a slightly used black lab? j/k.

Ezer, great job on the wheels. Next Slickstock we'll let you paint a mailbox. I like them.
