I think those are a good choice with the year of the truck and the color...they will set it off nicely. You could also look at gunmetal coys or boss 338's for a less expensive option with a somewhat similar 5 spoke design.

i am with strodder, bling bling. lots of work trying to keep em polished but well worth it.someone is making a knockoff of american classics torque thrust 2 they are using the american racing center cap i saw them at the pigeon forge tn rod run for 550.00 a set 17x8s polished or gray center. they were nice a company out of nashville tn was selling them but i cant remember the name. maybe someone else knows what they are.but whatever you chose they cant help but look good on that truck.

I remember when we lived in Canoga park Ca on a hot night we couldn't sleep because of the heat and humidity. We would get up in the middle of the night and take a shower to cool off. We only had a swamp cooler there, and it doesn't work in humidity. Here in the high desert it cools off really good at night. :metal:

Behind where the door rubber goes....Don't ask me why ;)
The rubber didn't cover all the factory spot welds.

In those days they made trucks really crude, and not consistent with fit. I had to do a lot to get the door gaps right on my truck. :uhmk:
