Wheeler's Steelies: Wheel Caps or Not?

Getting the 16x8 Wheeler's Steel Wheels soon.. Just curious to know if you were to buy these wheels, would you purchase the centre wheel caps, or leave it open/empty?

 

well ive been watching a thred on here about a guy asking if anyone makes custom caps, if someone does then id get the custom ones if not i buy the caps with the rims (black)

 

Good point. I've seen that thread also. If there was a low profile cap, I would definitely get it.

 

This.

 

def have to have caps to cover the nasty rust haha

 

No caps on mine. Running type Bs.

I really ought to paint the rear hubs though. I'll get to it some day.

 

What tire size are you running on your b's?

 

315s

 

I was already fairly certain I was not going to get caps, and just paint the hubs when I do the lift+swap the new rims and tires over. The one thing is wheel weights. I don't want to put metallic ones on the outside rim. Might just say fuck it and use sticky weights when I balance them. I've also heard of this bead style balancing that you put inside the tire. May look into that.

 

How's the rub on that? Lol

 

no caps

 

I've got clamp on wheel weights. Lots of em. Don't bother me but I can understand that. The beads are interesting and I did buy a pack of airsoft super dense bbs to use but I think I'm gonna scrap that for now. Isn't that big of a deal to take them down to discount and have them balance them every once in a while. But might be a good alternative if you don't like sticky or clamp on weights.

 

Hardly any. Get some on the frame at full lock, and some on the inner wheel well at full stuff but I can fully stuff them.

Also not really running 3" of lift. More like 2". (in the front)

 

I am a certified technician and have access to a $30000 balancer. I think I might just do a static balance with sticky weights.

 

I bought the short caps for mine. Didn't want to have the rusty hubs showing on my nice new wheels. I don't offroad so looks are more important to me then some.

 

Paint hups, no caps with that wheel.

 

Ill try to put a clear coat on my new black steel wheel on next winter
