I think you will be happy with your choice, I believe I got mine through summit racing as they were the cheapest I could find at the time.

One more thought...
If continuously operating in muddy, snowy, sandy, unpaved, off-road terrain... cow patches, oil patches, mineral mines, etc... then wheel skins (stainless simulators) can end up accumulating muck between the skin and the wheel, which can cause wheel imbalance and abrasion.
This isn't an issue for the majority of applications, but there are some areas and applications where wheel skins are not advised.

Sorry to resurect this thread again.
I was just able to flag down a FedEx driver to pick up the ones I'd bought from Prime Industries.
Once I get clear of this mess I'm looking to try the Phoenix USA simulators.
Does anyone actually have Phoenix USA simulators ON A '99-'03 F350 DRW with the stock 16" 8 lug 8x170mm pattern that would be kind enough to post a picture of their FRONT ones around the hand hole where the valve stem is please?
