Paint 2 for one side and leave the other 2 then you can walk to the other side if you don't like em.

Be really different and paint the whole hub cap and leave the letters chrome.

I think they look good either way. Mine are not painted but later they might get painted.They can't look bad either way.

I haven't reached that stage yet, but I plan on either vinyl lettering or painting mine.

Low54 here was my truck with Blue painted wheels and plain caps


Here is the way she looks today with the wheel painted red and the caps red as well



One tip on lettering the caps. What I did was go to a commercial sign company and buy some red vinyl tape. My wife had two craft exacto knives. We sat in the garage one evening and this was the result on all four caps




The tape has been on there for 4 years with no problems. I am sure it can remove it and with a little adhesive cleaners the caps will look new again. Just a thought and plus if you have one you can get the spouse engaged into working on the truck. Just a thought. Best of success to you which ever path you take
