| Now that my wheels are going to be dark, I can't use my oem center caps. I'm thinking about the BT ones, but I think I read somewhere that they are a PITA. What's the deal, are they ok? I might go black center caps and lug nuts, or have the powder coated to match the wheels. I'll wait to see my wheels before i make the call.

| I just put them on the wheels I had powder coated. It is a little piddly and I've read to be careful not to torque down the screws too much so you don't break 'em.
I got polished center caps and will use new chrome lugs I kinda like the contrast it is the only bright thing I've got on the car. Not a bad idea to color match them that would look good too. If you have the machined face the satin or polished might go nicely too.
Mine didn't sit super flush due to the texture powder coat, I'd be careful trying to put them on if you had the caps powder coated as well as that might affect the fit. | |

| Mine are on the summer rims with no issues. It just a socket to tighten them from the back, I forgot the size but Jon just did my back tires so he might know.
I was thinking bout getting another set for the winter rims but don't know yet, maybe for this years sale I'll get them | |

| good, sounds like they are going to work for me, just need to make up my mind on the color. Big M, be sure to put up some pictures when you get them mounted, I'd like to see what the chrome centers and lugs look like on a dark wheel.

| I probably won't have the new wheels/tires on until the middle of May but I will post a couple pics once on. My current setup I've got the stock ram head on my 18s with chrome lugs. | |

| Funk, if you are going to have them anodized yu might be better off just getting them powdered as well, the road wear may scuff and screw up the anodizing. | |

| I have a set of black ones with a skull on them if you're interested. They aren't bad, I had them on my Jeep. I agree about a little locktite on the screws when installing | |
