I like black wheels on black trucks. If I had a bright red paint job I would have shiny wheels.

it looks like black chrome and i think it looks killer.

My thoughts exactly. I like the bumpers too. It doesn't appear to be over done.

love the color but I think it should have chrome wheels. Its so bright I can hardly even see the wheels. To me it looks a little bit ricerish. If the truck was black maybe.. I mean its not terrible but its not my first choice...But if you like it....then who the hell cares what we think?

It is very different. I like the contrast . Also, it is very clean.

Don't mind the wheels, but can't stand the black bumpers and door handles.

Not a fan of all-black wheels. Makes it look like a demo derby car, IMO.

I like it, but I don't like the rubber band tires. Fill the wheelwells, and it would look alot better.

Looks decent. But black wheels belong on black or white trucks.. IMO

Conundrum 12-25-2008 04:16 PM

Re: paint/wheel combo
 
Yeah, with all the black trim I think it would look better as a white truck. IMO

The wheels are too black. If they had a red accent it would make a huge difference. The grill is kinda cool, but the bumpers don't work at all for me.

I think ken hit the nail on the head here. I think it would look better with all chrome on the body, and a polished lip on the rim.

like it but it looks unfinished or something...can't put my finger on what is missing...

It's o.k. since you're my friend! But, I would go with gun Metal grey and stock 15x8's, of which I have 4 already to go!!! :)

Re: paint/wheel combo
 
Thanks, I appreciate that. My whole point is that it is a clean truck.

Well since you asked I just do not care for black bummpers or the black rims. Give me Chrome baby.
But it is you truck and make it yours.

Not diggn it, if the bumpers were red and had some bi-tone wheels that would look cool.

Not quite my cup of tea...

I don't mind black wheels just not on this truck.

The black grille and handles deter from the paint job.

IMO throw some chrome wheels, handles, grille and it would turn some serious heads; and bring a higher price.

The black wheels are only pulling in a limited crowd...
