Painted ralleys
Ok, I am going to paint the truck the original Hugger orange, it was hugger and white originally. I am thinking about having a set of the ralleys powder coated hugger as well, letting the chrome lug nuts and beauty rings set them off. I am worried it is to much; does anyone have pics where the wheels match the truck, or can someone photoshop up a picture with this combo?
Any help or pics would be nice.

I had a bright red truck SWB stepside with matching painted 10 inch ralleys. I thought it looked really nice. I don't have any pics in thsi computer of it. I think you will be happy.

Don't be afraidto go body color. I had a truck with body color wheels, looked cool. My boss said it looked nasty but he's restoring a Porsche so whatever he suggests I do the opposite.

When I bought my truck the wheels were painted the body color (yellow). It had chrome beauty rings, nuts and the black center caps with Bowties. I thought it looked pretty good.

I know this is just generic white, but it might help you. I liked it so much I just had mine powdercoated.
