Yea, I think the black with the chrome lip looks good on like 2 trucks on here, in general they got kinda old after seeing them all the time for a month.

But yes, all black = much better, those photochops should have given you the answer anyways

I say do it!!! I think your truck will look great with all black wheels! I love my black wheels... If you like the way it looks then do what you like even if everyone thinks the black wheels a played out or not... I think chrome wheels are played out and your truck looks awsome in the pics u posted!! Just my 2 cents...

Nice truck 2low4nd... Wheels look sick!

Well im thinking about powdercoating them but im not sure about the level gloss or the durability. I Have never dealt with powdercoating before. I guess i can scotch brite the whole wheel and spray them myself but that seems it will be a pain in the ***. Not to mention it will be hard to cover with out dry spray.

My wheels were home rattle canned, didn't come out great cuz the guy doing them isn't A+ at stuff but got the job done. If you prep well you could get good results.

I think for the pewter you don't want glossy, you want pretty deep, flat black. Whatever you think is best though, should turn out the way you want em regardless of what other people believe is best

I am thinking about using PPG Basecoat black with about 70% gloss. Now that is a DEEEP black. It makes others look grey lol

$25 a wheel. (they just did the face since thats the ONLY thing you can see.)
the price is either 35 or 45 a wheel now
pewter would look great. there is a member on here with a blue single cab chevy bagged with black and blue rims and it looks great

DO IT!!!!
