Really, really nice truck, but it needs some bling to draw attention to it's details.
I disagree. For instance when I go a picture site (like LO70C10's photobucket site) I find myself thumbing all the pics of trucks with big gauky wheels to find nice clean looking trucks. My problem with "bling" is that besides a very select few (like Torq Thrusts and drag rims) they will be outdated and no one would be caught dead with them on their truck in 10 years. I have Sport Truck and all kind of Hot Rod-type magazines from the 90's that are full of Billet Specialties and Budniks that were the rage 10- 12 years, and you'd be laughed at if you bought them now. Everybody and their and brother had to run out and buy fluted Eagles (with matching steering wheel, no less) Hatchets and Hammers 10-15 years ago and most of them end up at the local sprap yard bringin' 65 cents/pound these days. I think the same thing is gonna happen with a lot of todays big 18's - 20's and 20" - 22" staggered set-ups. I really believe that it be looked back on as one of those "what the heck were they thinking" phases like pink Heartbeat pin stripes and McLeans. I think bigger wheels are here to stay, but a lot of styles that are phat/sick/ridiculous today are going to be lame/brokeback/wacked tomorrow. People will still be running Rally wheels though. They were swell yesterday, they're sick today, and they'll still gonna be off the heezy (which will be outdated also) tomorrow!
