Looks nice. I don't think that it would work as well with a blue truck.

5speed5 -- looks like there are no valve-stem "holes" visible, so how do you check your tire pressure at each gas fillup?
Yeah, that's a minor problem. Since I have a compressor at home, I just have to remove the hubcaps every so often and refill.

It would be so hard spending $70 knowing that normal hubcaps are only $25 at Wal-mart.
Yeah, it must be the stainless steel that makes them more expensive. I'm surprised someone hasn't made a plastic version for mass consumption.
