I did the same thing on mine sorta. I saw your idea when it was on the rack at LT so I knew that I was gonna have to raise mine.

X2 a couple shades darker than the argent silver that comes on the rally wheels would look good. The blue, to me, will not go well with the exterior of your truck. Just my opinion.
