I have the 22" esky wheels and I got a set of plain caps. A buddy of mine does vinyl print and made me up 4 styles to choose from. They all look pretty good. Help me decide which one is best. Some are subtle, others bold.
thanks,
#1 Solid Black insert

3 and 4 look to be the same, but I like them. I like the black, but only if you're doing a black and white thing, if not, do silver

yeah, in the pic 3 and 4 look almost alike. The center on these caps is textured chrome. the #4 is just the bowtie outline and the #3 is the same as the solid black insert in #1, just in Silver. The silver is very subtle, just enough constrast to know something is there until you really look. The black pops with either 1 or 2. The Hoe is solid white, I've just been adding chrome accents, I won't put anymore white on it. My future mods will be an esky roof rack, chrome tow hooks, chrome exhaust tip, and maybe an 1" or so drop. It's a clean look. Thanks for the comments.

Why not do one with a white outline to match the truck?

If not then 3.

Thanks, I thought about the white, I was just afraid they would get stained from the brake dust residue. I put a couple more pics in the Original post too.

Nah, I've never seen brake dust on my caps.

3 or 4. IMO the black breaks up the flow on the Esky rims and makes the rim look smaller.

I dunno, now that I see No. 1 on the truck I kinda like them the best ... they give definition to the wheel, they match the windows, they are different, and they make a big enough impression that one can immediately tell it's not an esky cap.

So out of the four choices it's 1 or 3 imo, depending on how strong a statement you want to make.
