I was wonderin if anyone with a pre-98 has ever taken the center caps off their wheels? Im talking about the wheels that i believe has 5 thick ugly spokes, with the big round cap in the middle that says Ford. I got these wheels on my 96, i dont know if other contours got these on them or not. So i was wondering if anyone has tried to take the center caps off, if it looks good or if it looks fugly...just lookin for a lil feedback, thanks. OH ya, ill try and get some pics of the wheels, but i dont got a digital camera so ill try and use my friends, thanks.

Why don't you just take them off and find out for yourself if you like it or not. It's not hard.
