And no, I didn't just buy 3. The last one is on the way.

The Cragars in question are 16x7 342 Series. The hubcaps are from a brand called Gorilla. I ordered the wheels and caps from Summit, and the lug nuts came from a local tire shop (where I may soon have a job!)

I'm going to use my 245/75 Cooper AT/3's still, and I'll have those a while because they've still got a ton of life in them. Next time I get tires they will be 265/75, most likely more AT/3's.

My stock wheels will now be my winter wheels. I'm probably going to get them sandblasted and powdercoated. The chrome and clear coat is in rough shape, which is my reason for the new wheels.

This is what they will look like on the truck.

My question, if anyone can answer: The diameter of the center and cap is 3.3 inches. Are the caps meant to be tight fitting? To test them out I had to pound them in with my hand. When I install them I will probably use some white lithium to make it easier.

Why did you buy just three?

UGH READ THE FIRST LINE
And right now I've only got 3 because for some reason the Ohio store had only 3. Apparently the last wheel was in the Nevada store.

I know, I asked just to be annoying (I am REALLY good at that).

I knew. I just played along.

And what are you putting them on? I was considering the D-rings for my Camaro.
