    Can't decide wheather I like the ripples as much as the rims/ trim rings. If I keep the ripple caps, I will add the bullets to the center.
    What do you guys think?

    I like 'em, but what does the cat think?

    Nice thing about caps, as you can change up the look easily. The ripple caps look great, but if I'd lose the weathered bed rails. Not "finished" enough to look right with the full wheel covers. Fine with beauty rings and spiders tho.

    Nice truck.

    I like em as long as you don't chop it. We don't need any more squashed looking Chevy trucks.

    I need to re build the bed rails...they serve a purpose...keeping things from beating the hell out of my bedsides, seeing as I actualy use the thing as a truck.
