Post a more recent picture of your truck, if you can. However, I still think those wheels will look best if you leave them all chrome.

Wouldn't it look like the cap is missing if you do that (at least from the distance)?

Personally, I think it will look weird with just the center cap cover painted.

I agree that it will look odd. Even with all of the dark blue and black you have on your truck, those wheels look good in all chrome. The wheels I have seen that look good in black and chrome are the ones where just the lip is chrome or brushed.

Dont paint just the centercaps, if your itching to paint something, take the wheels and have the centers pained/powdercoated to match your paint color.

You need a black lower grill.
