    I say take 'em off....truck looks a little more muscle.

    Have a 1967 Mustang with Steve McQueen Mags, had a 1996 Mustang Cobra, both look(ed) much better with out the caps. In fact your truck looks so good I might even take mine off as I have the same wheels on my '13 Access Cab. The 67 has been capless for 40 years, I'm about 70 now so this look is not an age related thing.........

    Not a fan of without. I painted my caps black at first, then ended up painting the wheels as well

    I think they would look better off if you had more aggressive tires like BFG / AT's and maybe a lift or some other mods.

    But on a stock truck, I agree - leave them on.

    Plastidip the wheels for a cheap change and then if you get tired of it or want to go back, just peel it off?

    I plasti dipped my wheels, cab roof, hood, grille and lower valence

    Beautiful Truck! Keep the caps on,, a more aggressive tire would look really nice against that color. jmop
