I found some new center caps today. I got the set for $50. I think it looks better now.

I went to a salvage yard. They came off a truck that rolled and all the wheels were bent but the center caps were in perfect condition.

I had to buy one of the center caps because a retard at the tire shop thought the cap was the lug nut and broke it off.......


I bought a brand new set yesterday (0) miles with Ford center caps and new lugs for $800 ($852) with tax from my local Ford dealer.

They were take offs they had lying around.

Now, that's what I considered a steal.

No, not yet. I'm waiting on a couple more things before I take pics again. Your truck looks a lot better with the wheels.

No, I have never pulled a trailer. I would like to see if I could tow my friends ski boat.

You DID steal them. Congrats. man. I got mine with 9K miles for $850. Were the sensors still in them? If not, they took them out which means you'll almost certainly have to balance them. If they're still there, it's worth the $80 bucks or so to have 'em removed and sell them.

To the OP, truck looks really good. You might be the frugal king for 20's!!

I don't know it they were or not. I don't have the tire pressure sensor thing on my truck.

Question: Do you have to readjust your odometer to the 20" wheels at Ford from the 18's?
