    It's all about you! What ever you feel your car needs, DO IT! Me personally, the only hub caps I'd run on a mav or comet are Moon Eyes salt flat hub caps.

    I can understand wanting the old school look,but with that great color that car is begging for some chrome wheels..............IMHO.....:drive:

    Hubcaps aren't "Old school"....they're "Stock" or "Original equipment"

    I agree.....for a "stock" look, dog dish/center caps, with or without rings lends to a more Muscular "sport" look that would go well with those 5.0 badges.

    I'm not feeling it.....those look like they belong on an old four door grocery getter. 5 spoke or slotted mags would look better, or as suggested, poverty caps with trim rings.

    I agree!! Baby Moons or something else that just covers the center lug area might just work out better :thumbs2:

    You can't beat caps and rings for a cool factory look. Unless you spend more for a set of magnum 500s-

    not digging the hubcaps or the emblem... just out of curiosity does you car actually have the "5.0" in it? if you really set on hubcaps I suggest getting a set of these or the beauty rings

    Why would I put 5.0 on a car that doesnt have one?

    I'd paint the wheels black or body color w/ some poverty caps. Needs more tire out back...slick car though.
