Default Centercaps

Does anyone know if chrome 12-13 standard F150 xlt centercaps are any larger in outside diameter than the 12-13 gray painted xl centercaps? Just want to make sure they will fit on steel xl rims before I buy them. My stock ugly steelies are gonna get a black base/clear paint job until I find some aluminum wheels I like.

Well, I found that the overall dimensions and looks of the chrome center caps for 04-up xlt chrome plated steel wheels were almost perfect, so here it is. I did a real nice prep job and a few coats of black Chromabase with 3 coats of chromaclear. I really dig the look. I may decide not to replace the wheels at all now.

After:


Some better tires, blacked out Raptor style headlamps and taillamps, and a couple other small touches and I think I'll be done with the outside.
