I agree the black looks nice and a cover like an Armor Lid would really set it off. Also the stance is awesome. How did you lower it?

Well im going to be dropping the truck in the next month or so going with a 4/6 and ill be color matching all of the bumpers. Gonna go ahead and powdercoat the rims as well i called a few places around houston,tx and they are charging me around $50 a wheel does that sound reasonable?

I think it would look sweet with the wheels blacked out!

$50 bucks a wheel is a good deal, most cheap places charge at least $65 per wheel. Just make sure you don't get what you pay for. I've had mine powdercoated for 4 years now and they still look brand new.
