I don't know, what you used looks pretty damn good. I think 10" might be a little too wide. What you got there fits the front of the truck PERFECT!

That set won't work on a 4x4. Here's the 4x4 set from the same seller (and the real listing, instead of the crippleware): eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

I'd insist on a photo of the side that engages the rim. The generic ones typically have a wire ring that sorta snaps over the lug studs, rather than using tabs that lock onto the four cut-outs in the hub bore. I bought a pair of rear caps of this kind, and both popped off on the road; heard tell of others having the same experience. If these ones actually engage the four cut-outs like the OEM ones do, you're good to go, but otherwise, you may be seeing them flyin' into the ditch in your mirror one day.

Thanks for the link! Those would probably work with a well placed dab of silicone!

I'm not sure, but I think I just got the OK from the wife to go ahead and get this truck!
I guess I'll know for sure if I sleep with the fishes tomorrow night!

I've trimmed mine down some the last couple years. I promised her tonight this would be the last one until I get the old home place renovated. We're gonna completely gut the house I grew up in and redo the whole thing and build on to it, so, no more trucks for while after this one.

Like I told you before, she really is a wonderful woman, I just like to pick. But I know I do push her to her limit sometimes with my trucks and toys.

Bottom line, I should have been divorced a million times. I got lucky, like it sounds like you did.

I appreciate the thought - but I'd hate for you to do that. I think I found singles and a few sets online...they were just pricey. One of these days, I might just bite the bullet and order one. I guess I could always go aftermarket and replace both of them, but I'd rather stay stock if possible. The thing that sucks is...when I bought the truck last fall, it had both of them on it. I rotated the tires like a moth later, and I guess I didn't get the one on there good, because I later noticed that it was gone. That hurt.
