Black spraypaint.
 






If you want you can get caps which will fill the hole.
 






Your X just keeps getting better. You have the same great taste I do. :cool:
 






I tried to get the centercaps when I got mine and they didn't really fit because of the size of Explorer hubs and axles.
 






Congrats David! I see that you opted for the wheel weights on the inside! Looking good man :eek:
 






I used to have center caps in my black steel wheels.
 






Rick, do you still have them?
 






Caleb, your ELITE! These wheels are Limited Ex old wheels.
 






huh ???
did some one say my name i didnt sell u those i want to buy some tho

LOL
Just Messin with ya;)


PEACE
 






Thar aint room 'nuff fer both of us on this forum.......

lol :confused:
 






Well, Limited Caleb was here first.. so off you go kid :D
 






I used to have center caps. Then they looked stupid so I yanked them and used some good old Black spray paint. :) Made it look a lot better then that chrome stuff!
 






Problem with center caps is the break easy off roading. If you want something use the stock X snap on ones and pop them on and off whether you are on road or off. I think That is whatI am going to do depending on how they look. Oh no I'm not changing bolt pattern silly me, but hey its a good idea for you.
 












well i went with spray painting it black. cheap and easy to do. here's how it looks:

Nice! I like....Digger are those 32's that you had on the stock rims just fit with only the TT/Shackels done?

I'm deciding on tires and rims....may just get some tires for my stock rims....are those you had on your stock rims 265/75R16's?
 






i had the 32's on the stock rims and now they are on the rock crawlers. i just have the TT/Shackles/AAl done.
 






ahh so you had 15" stock rims...mine are 16" I'm just wondering what size to get to fit on my stock rims....all i'll have is the TT/Shackel mod too. I was just wondering if that size 265/75/R16 was = to 32's.


Did you have to trim anything with the 32's?
