Styling/contrast/reasonable price...I keep comin' back to the Miami's. Stock wheels are commonly boring. Don't want monotone chrome or black...gotta have a full center cap. Stayin' clear of wheels with any type of simulated fastener...winter corrosion guaranteed (been there).

That was not always GM It was called the Renaissance Center, was a big deal perked up downtown Detroit. If you were to see pics of guys who live here they all take pics there or one of several parks on the river and if you are doing burnout videos....some concession roads.
Bounty I gotta say those rims do not work with what you are doing to your truck, a nice set of SRT rims would be good, and look great. Or even some old style 5 spokes.

I think they look nice. Anything in the world is better than the boring stock wheels though. Go for it Bountyhunter.

I like your stocks better than those, at least in photoshop form.

I was going to say black, but you do not want that.

If going with SRT he needs Night Runner black chrome, which really is not black, would work with mineral grey.

Looks great Bounty. I went to my brother in laws this weekend, he lives in E. Kentucky, lots of winding road. I really can't wait to get my new rims and tires, because these stock Goodyear Wranglers felt like I was going to slide off the road in the turns with the rain running around 70 mph. Gonna go with Cooper Zeon LTZ's.

I looked into gettin' stock wheels done in PVD (powdercoat dark chrome). MOPWR2U has this finish on stock forged Alcoa's below...very cool indeed!
