Yeah on a black car it looks better w/o the hucaps, but still looks good with them. If you did decide to just go w/o the hubcaps get the black chrome lug nuts. Nice car by the way and I like the Mondeo decal on the bottom of the door Roger R SVT/SHO Society SE MI rep 2000 CSVT #1253 of 2150 silver frost/midnight blue 2-8" dark blue racing stripes Mequiars...simply the best!

I went with a different set on my new snows this year.

But yellow is also a good color but is you do go yellow put TypeR after mondeo(removeable of corse for the summer) 1996 Mercury Mystique stock (so far) The leading cause of Atheism in the world are Christians, who accept Jesus with their mouth but walk out the door and deny him by their actions.
