Wow, did you burn the rubber off already? That flathead has got some significant torq.
like the caps ('57 Fairlane?) I think maybe a set of ribbed trim rings would look nice.

I'm sure you thought about this, but how about some wheel spacers?

How about these, stock '70's era Ford Truck caps. They look very similar but clear Bonus Built grease caps. Note they snap on outside nubs, won't work on stock BB wheels.

Ross, I'm not trying to be picky here, and maybe I'm wrong but, I believe that those caps on your truck are '52-53 passenger caps. They are good looking and if I ever get to the point were I can get rid of the spokes on my truck I might go with those.
