Thats a hubcap off of our 85 w350. Might go with nicer of those and paint the wheels dark gray/black for an offroady look or no caps and still do black.

The dark color looks a lot better than the white. Still, I like your stock hubcaps too. Maybe you can send them to me and I'll use them on my pickup.

I can, but be warned, on one of them the rear cap is rusty and they have 8 little lugs.

Yeah, they like to do that on newer vehicles too... put more/larger fake "lugs" on hubcaps to make it look tougher without any functional purpose. I was only mildly serious, more suggesting to you that the stock look and original hubcaps still look good.

I have 8 lugs because its an f250. I thought you would be putting them on your f150.

Yeah, I'm aware the 250/350 wheels have 8 lugs (the 350 uses 1 1/16" size), and yes, the 150 has only 5, but the hubcap should still go on as I don't think the lugs on the wheel actually stick into the hubcap holes. That's what I was trying to say, the presence of "lugs" on the hubcap are really only aesthetic and don't serve a functional purpose.

The 350 lugs are huge. Had to buy new impact socket set just for working on it!
