Ok, I had a little undesignated money left after the holidays and bought myself 4 new 18x7 6-lug 'steelies' for my winter tires. They arrived with TPMS /valve stems set and 24 new chromed lug nuts. Installation was a breeze, the installer put the truck on the ground and said 'There you go, sir'. I asked, 'Where's the hubcaps?' and the installer said, 'There aren't any, sir'. And we stared at each other. I got on the phone to the shop where I bought the wheels and they said there are no hubcaps that fit these wheels. Noe there's nothing special about these wheels. You see them on Ford fleet pickups everywhere. I even went to the local 'hubcap heaven' and bought a used hubcap like you see on those Ford fleet pickups and sure enough, it would not fit my 'steelies'. Man, I did not think this one all the way through. I'm not opposed to driving around showing off my lug nuts and all, but I would really like to find something to keep the crud out of the hubs. So, here I am, asking if anyone else has dealt with something like this or has other suggestions for resolving it. Thanks.
