I finally got the Ansen copies (I can't remember what they are-Superior, American, IDK.). I have the OG-type caps, the bullet caps or no caps. What do y'all think looks the best? I am leaning towards the bullet caps just because they are different.

Both caps, so you can see the difference.

They just seem to stick out too far. And they look clunky. I think I'l put the OG caps on one side and the bullets on the other and see which one grows on me Very Happy

I run the repro plastic original style on my Ansen wheels. But I think it would be cool/different to go with the bullet styles.
