Black or white or Chrome

IM looking for ideas on painting my truck wheels. Right now there 2 black, 1 silver and 1 white. Id like to make them all the same but i was wondering what you folks thought. I have some 15inch trim rings if i painted them black but anything else im just curious. If i can keep the truck long enough ill paint it silver on the bottom and black on the top.

If you are going to go ahead with the paint job like you said. I would go black rims with dog-dish hub caps and the trim rings. Would look great with the Black over Silver paint job

The one I have on my truck are the flat faced square shoulder ones. But I think most 1/2 ton Ford truck hub caps will fit. I have had some that I found in a junkyard years ago that a guy told me were from the early 60's. I think the shoulder is the same.

We run rims from a mid 80s truck on our trailer that started life as a '59 F100. The original hubcaps fit just fine. They recently painted it blue again, then painted the rims blue, then painted the hubcaps behind the lettering blue. It's pretty slick. I'll see if I can get some pics from the little bro.

Almost any ford dog dish caps will fit those wheels. You need caps that are 10.5 inches across.

Sorry dont have money for even factory 95 aluminum wheels. I can get a set of these dog dish style hubcaps for around 30 bucks on the ebay.
