I really like the new look. I've always liked white/light body color steel wheels in the right application, and the light colored paint really makes the slots stand out and look unique. It makes them look more like early police car wheels rather than very common truck rallys.

Well said Markeb01!! I couldn't decide what color to paint mine, so I went with BLAH, Black and rings w/ caps... Now, I'm wishin mine had some POP like that. I dig it. I'd leave the rings off, get them pin-striped around the the lip and call it awesome!!!

They instanly popped out at you especially on the truck,i debated for days,white or blue opposite colored cap,but glad i did the way i did,AND TO HAVE A LITTLE DIFFERENT CAP IS COOL

Very nice! Looks great!!!!

VA72C10 · 08-12-2011, 01:03 PM

I like it a lot! If you do a trim ring...I wouldn't put those deep ones back on....sell those and buy a shallow trim ring...would really set them off IMHO

I dig it!

The worst part is that you have to do the other three now.

**jocko** · 08-12-2011, 09:14 PM

i agree with samuell - no rings and a pinstripe if you want. Either way, no rings. Once you put them on, you can never take em off in public or you'll cringe when everyone laughs at your horrendous scratches.

Looks nice as is! Btw, what color is the truck - or what color is it going to be?

srziemkowski · 08-22-2011, 04:25 PM

Truck is a goldish brown now but is going the color of the wheel.
