^ if you want 'em, i'm up for a trade. NE Texas is a bit of a drive for me though . oh yeah, in case y'all were wonderin, i got the lug nut covers from IOWA80.com. just looked for 3/4" covers ( i got acorn nuts, if that makes a difference...) prices were reasonable $25-$30, don't remember exactly

 

Isn't Iowa 80 the big truck stop?

 

i'd never heard of it before, but yeah, they carry all kinds of trucker accessories.

 

I think if I ran those pointy lug covers it would portray an image of badness that I could never live up to.

 

^ ha, yeah... i am a bit of a bad ass , but, no, i'm goin for a "Mini Mack" look on my ride. i'm makin trucker mud flaps with grind plates so i can throw spark when i drop the air bags, and i'm makin a resin cast of a Mack Truck hood ornament inspired by the new Transformers movie (not a copy, just my interpretation). and perforated side pipes perhaps. and air horns... of course.

 

Has anyone tried a set of these?

What wheels are those?

 

I believe those are 17" steelies from a Pontiac G6

 

Just when I was thinking a center cap with (faux?) blades sticking out would look badass... I realize I won't be able to actually shred tires in a fit of road rage, but I wonder how durable these are and how well they stay attached. When people bump them are they going to fall off?

yeah, the lug covers stay on pretty good, but if you hit anything with em, they'll probably break. the lug covers are just copper coated plastic, then chrome plated. oh, and falling off wasn't the issue i had with em... gettin em off was the fun part. they just wedge on over the hex nuts like a sleeve, but i had to attach tape to em and pull to remove em. i loved havin em back when i had stock rims, really set it apart.
