Show Your Hubcaps
I am trying to decide what hubcaps to throw on my Supercab. I am leaning towards the "lightning bolt" Dogdishes
Here's the truck and the options I was looking at. Show me some examples of trucks with hubcaps!!!

I've always thought the top one is kind of lame. I do like the standard dog-dish hubcaps. I don't believe I've seen the lightning bolt design on our trucks-its kinda cool

I kind of like these. On 16.5 wheels but the outer ring seperates.

The only reason I put those in there, is that I remember them being on one of my dads old f150. I kinda like the idea of the green showing, keeps that 70s green on green on green

You say hub caps or "truck wheel covers"? lol I like the hub cap and the beauty ring set up. Will look nice when the rim is painted.
Here is a FTE members idea of just the beauty ring.

"Before". Got all of them for $10 at a GoodGuys swap meet. One of them had rust-through so it's gonna be a clock for the garage.
De-rerusted using electrolysis, primed, masked painted, masked, painted, masked, painted, masked, painted, masked, painted, and then hand-painted... EACH!!!! :

HIO you do know that you can get those same hub caps in stainless steel as wheel. Although you did do an amazing job on them. They look better then new.
