Which hubcap looks better with my new wheels?

Little dome (it's chrome so it's hard to see):


This is the hubcap that came with the wheels - it's low-profile and doesn't stick out like the little domecap:

i like them both
but to pick one i kinda like the domes
and not to be a jerk but they are center caps
I saw the title and was soo confused why you would put hubcaps on those sweet wheels!

Thanks for your opinion. I called them hubcaps because my old T-Bucket had spindle-mount wire wheels and the little aluminum cap that covers the hub was called a "hub cap". It's a historical accuracy thing with me :hick:

Thanks dude(s)!!, they do look pretty nice (if I don't say so myself.) :D I just got a set of Sumi HTRZ II's mounted on the back and one customer in the shop couldn't stop looking at them!

Here's a couple more pics of the mini-hubcaps and an overall shot.

I have to say, a 20th Anniversary, with those wheels, and that KB Blower...I love it.  I wouldn't change a thing.  Wanna trade? :D

No, but thanks for the idea to redo my signature :D

I'm going to buy another 3 of the domecaps and I can choose which I like better - maybe change my mind at some point :D

They are AR Rebel wheels. I bought the last 5 4-lug wheels in the country (4-lug 6" BS model is discontinued, though 5 lug are still available). Every time I look at the car I can hardly believe how much better it looks. It's like having a new car. :bowdown: :cougarsmily:

Hmmmm, two more votes for the stock caps - that's cool - thanks :D I got the dome one to verify that it was the same size and because the stock ones have to be modified to fit over the stupid long spindle in the front. In both cases, the stock dust cap has to be removed - fortunately the AR caps form a tight seal so I can get away with removing them. I stll might snag 3 more of the domes to have an option ;)
