The center caps that came with my wheels were ok, but had some shiny lettering and since the rest of my truck is blacked out, why not do the wheels too. I found a guy on Etsy that does custom 3-D printing and they were going to be just flat, but with the throw-back sill guard plates on the front doors, I decided to have the guy print RANGER on the new center caps. They were just delivered today, so I still have to prime and paint them....I did have to clean them up a little (which I expected), but just have to wait for a little warmer weather before painting. Hopefully, I'll have the tires, wheels and center caps all on the truck in a month.....damn you 'Rona !!!

its unfortunate the raised lettering is so rough. hard to make the paint look good on it.

could he print it recessed instead?
Once I get a couple coats of primer and sand with 220, it will be much better. I wish I would have thought of recessing the lettering. Oh well.

I sent him a "technical drawing" that I drew up since I don't have any CAD capabilities and had it printed in ABS so I can paint them.
