JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default Center Caps, or Not?

Rotated my five Toyos at 5K last night and it drives as smooth as can be up to 80-85mph (didn't go any faster).
The maximum wear I have on any of the tires is just under 3/32" on the right rear.
Haven't re-installed the center caps yet, might run it this way a while.














Older photos of a clean Jeep with the Rock Monster center caps.

I like the look of them with the center cap. Either way, it looks spectacular!

I prefer it with the caps, but both look ok.

My wife likes the look of it better with-out the caps. She sayz the caps make it look more "bling" kinda like a Crysler 300

Thanks for the comments.

But the Hutchinsons really do look good without the caps, on a JK with stubby bumpers and trimmed factory fenders it would be more appropriate.

Like I read Schpeen said, whose red Jeep was almost cloned in silver by me (mostly unintentional), if I was to do anything different I'd have gone for a stubby or mid-stubby front bumper (FabFour Hardcore or Shrockworks mid) with Warn Powerplant and cut the fenders to match the Teraflex sliders.
Then the no center cap option would look right.
