I might add that the stock rallys painted black with those chrome trim rings look wicked. Check my truck for proof.

Re: Yup....I am for sure doing the black wheel/ silver lip combo

That would look good with that paint as well Dave. What you going to do with the stockers? I'm guessing those are the ones you keep when you have work done on it and you swap them out.

LOL!! No thanks I was just cursious to see if you were going to keep them like you have before. I don't need a new wheels or tires that size. I'll have to get mine from a dealer down here with me going larger profile tires.

You could always trade me your bike for some rims

Re: Yup....I am for sure doing the black wheel/ silver lip combo

like ken always says, and i agree with him, don’t get anything too.... out there or that wont look good in a couple of years. I think a simplistic 5 or 10 spoke wheel with a black front and polished lip. I think the combo of pewter, black and chrome will look nice together. a nice chrome grill would look good also

Re: Yup....I am for sure doing the black wheel/ silver lip combo

Here's how my orginal rally wheels and trim rings came out doing the black and chrome look. The original color was silver with chrome rings, I think the black is an improvement, especially with a black truck!
Smitty.

Re: Yup....I am for sure doing the black wheel/ silver lip combo

That looks nice Smitty! I have seen that done a lot. I like the look but on lowered trucks for some reason it makes them look "longer"? seems like bigger aftermarket wheels makes a SWB look REALLY short. I love that.

Re: Yup....I am for sure doing the black wheel/ silver lip combo

yep looks good. I actually thought about going back to factory color. I guess we'll see when I get tires.

Re: Yup....I am for sure doing the black wheel/ silver lip combo

I say black 17" or 18" rallys

The 20"s on your last truck were just too :gay: for me.

Re: Yup....I am for sure doing the black wheel/ silver lip combo

Yeah....that is all I am getting...a basic 5 spoke..chrome lip. Those never go out of style...and if I want them done diff later.. I can do that too.

Gonna try and get a grille for it if Izzy ever calls me back! haha

I have to give alex a call since the grill is "technically" his. I'll call you once I've got an answer. I'm pretty sure it's yes since he was talking of going with a 73-80 front end or going with a phantom if he sticks with the 83 front end.

Different but gaining popularity.
Should look good with your color.

Here's a shot with a similar color combo.

Re: Yup....I am for sure doing the black wheel/ silver lip combo

I painted my rallies black for a while, it looked good. I thought it had kind of a road racer look that way. I painted them silver again now though...corn
