Default Ideas for my truck!

I have a Blue CC 1500..The only outside appearance change is the TRX grill.. I am not satisfied with the look at alllll!
I am not really looking to lift it or lower it..
I was looking at the 8k lights because they are a baby blue color
http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_i...0016_large.jpg but then my friend said it was gay haha...but i definitely want HID lights.. was kinda interested in Doc Fluty's 12k style but idk if the purplish would look good with the color of my truck..
Also the wheel/tire combo...I saw some guy that had powercoated his stock chromeclads black...that sounds like a good/cheap idea..but idk if it would look good w the blue?
Also, I really like the SRT10 wheels..but again, dont know how it would look!

So give me some ideas! I have never really had a truck i could modify(or even worth it before) so haven't really done any of this and I don't want to spend a bunch of money getting something i would hate down the road...
Thanks guys!

That's why WE buy trucks to PERSONALIZE them -----make it your own and if you do try something and decide later to change back keep the oem parts in a box--chances are you will never ever use them though---lol

there are a couple sites where there is a program that you can see the rim on an 09 ram.. american racing has the program but i can't open it on this server (all that good stuff is blocked) i'm looking into getting these american racing cannons or something like them

The "View on Vehicle" feature of tirerack.com works well. They have quite a few wheel and tire combinatons to view/choose from also.

I just wonder how long this chrome clad will last and if it starts crapping out will they warranty it. What can we use to clean them, as in chemicals for brake dust.

Dodge has been using these clad wheels for years. Those famous "petal" Dodge Ram wheels are clad.

I just use soap and water. Works well.
