Yeah, I love how they look. It makes the truck stand out just a little bit more than before.

Yeah ... I'm planning on getting either spider caps or the push-through bullets. Probably the bullets since they're cheaper ... whatever I can find that'll fit.

I have looked on eBay before and haven't had any luck. $50 is a good price. Spider caps are dependent on the bolt circle, right?

I'll probably go with the bullets since I already spent the money on acorn lugs.

To tell you the truth, I dont know on the bolt pattern, I would assume so, Then again Cooker sells the repops but dont mention specifing the bolt pattern.

kooper,
I love it!!! I love wide whites! When I was a kid every car we had had wide whites and chrome reverse wheels. I think my dad would put wide white son his old John Deere if he could find them...LOL

The truck looks really good! Good luck on finding the spiders, they would be perfect and at that small little sublte touch that would pull it all together.

Good form!
Bobby
