Although I still like the truck a whole lot, since my first vehicle, I never liked hubcaps or wheel covers or stock rims. Many refer to them as "poverty caps". To each his own, but in this case from one perspective,(mine), it is original style. However, I always felt a custom wheel and tire combo helps make a vehicle unique. Visual is one thing, but I also look toward function as well as form supporting my viewpoint. In this case, without laying on the ground, it can be difficult to check for things like dragging brakes. In addition, having mag type wheels leaves the view of your drums / calipers open for viewing and because of that, I keep them in better condition by wire brushing & painting! One more thought; if the vehicle is stolen it stands out more with distinctive wheels & tires which (might) help to deter a thief to a small degree. Maybe not!

The factory wheels look good but I prefer the aftermarket wheels. Sharp truck either way, enjoy it.
