Help Choose Wheel Color
Dropping my smoothies off tomorrow to be media blasted and then off to powder coating. I'm split between red or black. Here is my truck. What do you guys think? I'm going to run wide white walls on the wheels. Thanx very much for any input. Here are a few shots of the look I'm shooting for. I like the red but black is always a classic look too.

Re: Help Choose Wheel Color
Well, i'm a rat rodder so I like the red. Mine are black right now but that's because they're cheap 8 spoke wheels that i'm trying to hide. As soon as I can find some 8-lug 16" steelies i'll be painting them red.
My vote is red if you're running hubcaps, black if you're not.

Re: Help Choose Wheel Color
Top truck red. Bottom truck black.
For a better vote why note take a nice side profile of your truck and have someone photoshop black and red wheels on it?

Re: Help Choose Wheel Color
If you really want red and are playing it safe with black I would paint them red. If you paint them black you will always wonder what they would look like red. You could paint them with a rattle can first and put them on the truck to see which color you like more.

Re: Help Choose Wheel Color
Thank you very much guys and thank you for the photoshop! That really helped. I think I will go with the black with chrome nuts and or maybe 6 lug spider caps when they come out. And the Jeep wheels will be for sale as soon as I swap the tires over.

Re: Help Choose Wheel Color
Sorry. In hindsight, that was "over the top". I didn't mean to yell.
