Imroving the looks of the tow rig!
#1

New to me wheels:

Nearly final product:

The stock nuts are about flush with the wheel, so I plan to weld the NBS nut onto two nuts for each wheel. I might go 4 but haven't decided. Glue the rest the lug caps to the center cap and obviously have 2 or 4 of the lug caps holding in on like they are meant to do.
I only tacked these two to make sure the fit was OK. I need to trim about 1/8th of an inch off the nose of the NBS nut because they are out just a touch too far and will weld them up tomorrow.

I am VERY happy with the way it looks and certainly light years ahead of the stock hub caps!

What is funny is that the new caps are almost as long. But look a million times better!! I did a new set of slightly shorter lug nuts and they worked perfectly!! I glued all but two lug covers on all 4 of them. Tomorrow at work I will build the other 6 lug nuts I need and they will be permanently installed. I am so happy that with no issues they worked.
