They look great! I definetly like the side with the center caps better. You could always buy some Weld center caps too they would look nice on there.

I have the same wheels as you and have been been doing some searching....one person said how they put there weld center caps on and they looked great. Said they were a tad loose until they torqued down the wheel then they were good to go. The difference in diameter between the summit cap and weld cap is like .100" or so. I'm going to grab some Weld caps off ebay or something because the Summits just dont cut it for me.

You could also cut the caps down shorter and bend new tabs for the rear makes the caps look alot nicer.
