Talking finally got some rims!!

well i finally got some 20's. "pops" gave me his old rims and hes rollin on my 17's until he gets his new rims. i think his truck looks tough with the blacked out wheels. just needs to be lowered of course. as for my truck, i still have to put the new, lower profile tires on... black 'em out, and paint the calipers red. will post pics ASAP! here are a few pics so far... enjoy!

oh yeah... as soon as i get the new tires on, they're getting painted. im going to a roll pan out back. so that chromes gone. and as for the front im gonna color match the chrome strip. so after that i will be done with chrome and the "black & blue" theme will be in full effect.

seeing how the bumpers are still chrome, i'd leave the rims alone. if you're painting the bumpers, then the rims need to be done too, and vice versa. looks much better though.

Instead of painting the front bumper and roll pan to match, I'd paint both of them black. Otherwise your truck might have too much blue and not enough black to be truly themed. It'll just be blue with some black items. But either way, it looks really nice.

i plan on going another inch or two lower, hence the lower profile tires.
