i'll probably leave the caps on for now, it does look meaner without, but i'm not digging the spare tire look. If they were the 5 spoke steelies it would be a different story. That's the nice thing about caps, I can change the look however many times I want in a matter of a few minutes!

I like them off. If I could have got black steelies from Tirerack for the clearance 17" blizzaks I wanted that would have been my 1st choice, I ended up with the cheapest, blackest alloy rims they had. I wonder if a stainless or chrome trim ring could be mounted to the black steelies and what that would look like?

The ride is nice, the noise isn't nearly as bad as some reviews i've read. Overall, i'm happy with these tires.
Winter tire burnout video. Now. LOL!

i saw go for the look half panel is sporting. paint the caps black and leave them on, it's a combination of the all black, mean look, and then more polished with caps look.
