Anyone have experience with these? I am looking for a set for my 06 3500 Dooley. I am concerned about fit and finish. Who makes a good quality simulator with a nice tight fit? Thanks.

I have these on my 2001 Dually and they are very high Quality and look very nice. Made in America.

Thanks Racer. Will check out. Simulators must not be too popular.

Try Suburban Wheel Cover Co. Have had mine for 3 yrs. now.
Stainless Steel, nice quality, still looks great. Order rear valve
stem extention, makes adding air to rear a snap, mounts to bracket
on outside of wheel. Use web search.

I bought mine from this site http://www.jaeeagle.com/. They are the only ones that carry GM licensing with the bowtie. I am very happy with fit and finish. I wanted something that was held on with lug nuts but these use the original lug nuts and cover all the lugs except two and those have a threaded nut cover that tightens the cover with a special wrench that is supplied. They also come with valve stem extensions but I didn't like the way they fit so I found a place called Mr. Tire in Ridgecrest Cal. that sells (makes?) solid valve stem extensions that require unmounting the tires so that the stems can be installed from the inside of the wheel. They are then centered and tightened and the tire re-aired. The inside wheel has a five inch extension and the outers are a curled stem that comes back at you for easy pressure checks. They also include some for the front wheels. A very nice product. If I remember right they are at http://www.ridgecrest.ca.us/~tire-man/kit2_instructions.htm. The simulators ran me $301 plus shipping. A little more than some that I found but I am very happy. If I new how to post pictures of my truck I would show you how they look but I am still learning how this computer thing works. Any help would be appreciated.
