    I have a set of 4 lug aluminum slots and need new center caps. I like the bullet style but I also kind of wanted to get the flat top ones so I can get some "Maverick" logo decals to put in them. I am going to try and post a poll on this.

    On my 89 Ranger I had 53 ford truck dogdishes on it with "68" 14inch factory rims. Plus also 74 or 76 pontiac beauty rings, the 2inch ones, I think. It really looked good. My dad picked up the caps at a swap for ten bucks, back then! We had the rings and wheels lying arround.
    We did this to get rid of the narrow donuts it came with, RANGER-S version.Cant remember the wheel width, but a P-205/14 was perfect. Plus it stoped buzzing the motor like it did before with the donuts. It still ran GREAT on top, and bottom, even with the taller tire.
    Check out a roadside hubcap store nearby if available, like you see in the movies! Have fun.

    It looks like the flat top with the Maverick emblem are going to be the decisive winner. I am really going to use what you guys vote on.
