Would those fit the bill?
As a side note, even though they don't say it, I assume these would work on the F450 too?
I made a tool to remove those caps, but the wife likes the wheel without the caps too so I may go the paint the hub with nice lugs route eventually.
EDIT: Actually, I really like that Raney's kit. Expensive, but I like it.

I remove my caps using one of those orange wratchet straps and a piece of wood. hook the cap using the wratchet strap hook, tie the other end of the wratchet strap to a wooden stick....put the stick on the ground...use your foot to keep the stick steady....yank on the top of the stick as if the stick was a lever....the cap will come right off.
I haven't found the caps too difficult to remove. I just think they look cheap and bulky.

Same here. They're stuck on a shelf somewhere in case I decide to sell the truck down the road.

Hi all; I did a search and found little other than the fact that the plastic wheel caps seem very difficult to remove. I plan on removing them permanently and would like to replace the factory front lug nuts with high quality chrome or stainless nuts. On the back, I will either do the same and just paint the axle or find a SS center cover to cover the axle hub but not the nuts. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave

Thanks, getting them off is one issue, but ultimately I think they look cheesy and probably make it more difficult to get an air chuck in there. I've ordered some lug nuts and I think I'm just going to paint the rear hub black.

simulator vehicle as listed above with stock rims (16"x6.5") and have changed them over to 17", 18" or 19" rims? I would think if
you kept the dually set-up they would rub without spacers?
