This style rimwould look bad a$$ with a solid black paint job and chrome trim ie. bumpers grill etc. I personally think solid black or solid white rims look tacky

Olive drab with a single offset racing stripe. Or if you have the skills or the money to have someone do it, get a shark mouth somewhere in the front of the truck like old WWII bombers.

Like so:

A good spot for the mouth would be coming off the fender and down to the door like:



but make it look you know, good.

any color other than what it currently is is going to be a pain to paint. Gotta paint the door jambs, inside the engine compartment, under the hood etc...

But if I had my choice I would go with all glossy black with chrome bumpers, but not too much chrome. dont mexicanise it with chrome trim around the fenders and doors!
