I personally like the red because it'd match your truck

The painted red to match is a nice touch. Just don't paint the wheels to match though. Wheels need to be white.

That reminds me of a couple knucklehead classmates of mine back 1987. They were ditching football practice to get drunk, they were trail blazing an area across the street from my house and ended up it a drainage ditch. Beer cans flew all over the place, and they tried to hide them, but little did they know they were in plain sight and a lot of people were watching.

I like this. And the polished caps with the red bowtie, very nice subtle touch. And I agree with Hot Rod, the wheels in white is better.

I'm really digging where you are going with this. Care to share your polishing process?
