Default Help Me Find a WHEEL!!!!

Let's have a contest! Help me find a wheel for my truck!

As my project has evolved the factory clads are looking more and more out of place. I used to LOVE these wheels but they no longer compliment the vehicle. I'm thinking something in matte or satin black with 5 spokes and perhaps some type of insert that can be painted to match the truck. Something modern but still with some classic lines. Something with a little attitude... I was looking at a Status Dynasty but they discontinued the flat black and only offer gloss now. I also looked at a Modular Society Malice 5 but these babys are over $1200 each!!!

The winner will get credit for the selection and my most sincere gratitude and not much else

Here's the truck...photoshop at will

I think that some black chrome rims would look very nice with your setup.

It would look sharp if you stayed with the 20" size and put some more aggressive tires on it, but that is just a preference.

Also think that something should be done to the fog lights to balance out the nice work on the headlamps

they call these babys gloryders. They are some bad ash rims man. if you got the cash and you can find them you should slap them on your truck. Im not sure on price or availability but i have seen them for a few years now. if my truck wasnt a daily driver and was a show only truck then i would have them for sure

No doubt, I think the factory rims look fine. What I wanna know is where you got the body coloured nerf bars? Were they chrome and you painted them? If so how? Thanks in advance.

They were chrome and I was going to have my paint guy do them but he recommended a local powdercoater for durability. The color is not a super exact match but it's really, really close and they look really nice, I think anyway.
