Somebody's got to say it. No one's going to look at anything on your truck and think..."ahh, this is like a BMW." Sorry, man, but I think your truck is way too 
for most people's tastes on this forum. You need to pick a theme and stick with it. Your interior alone looks like someone with multiple personality disorder designed it.
From the first 2 pictures alone, I see chrome plating, brown wood grain, black carbon fiber, 2 shades of leather, factory black and beige plastics, beige door carpet, and Honda Civic quality inspired Bose stickers. And you are thinking about adding white or yellow to this mix?!
If you want to stick with gaudy, go with the first wheels. The Torque Thrusts are nice, but I'm not digging your theme. The chromed-out Storm Trooper look isn't for me. However, if that's what you like...stick with it. But neither of those wheels is going to look good on a lifted truck.
Get rid of most of the emblems on your truck. The 'stacked' emblems look is especially awful. Glad you are getting rid of that 4x4 emblem. Ditch that and the Z71! Same for SLT and Z71 on the door. Better yet, get rid of all of that crap. Tailgate emblems aren't bad, but all the others need to go.
The tips you picked are awful. Straight up. Don't do it.
Never paint factory drums a bright color. They are drums...cars in the 50s had them...no need to accent them. Black is the only acceptable drum painting color. White calipers will stay nasty, as will yellow.
Don't put pinstripes on there again. Your power washer did you a favor.
Pick a theme and go with it. And cash in that darn change.

Reminds me of high school kids who order every accessory from a JC Whitney Catalog and slap it on their truck.
He cam and asked for everyones opinion and he got it.
