I thought they looked a little light, but then again I thought your truck looked alittle pinkish too so... Guess it was the light, but ya take a closer picture, because I thought about doing a gunmetal grey as well.

I believe around OKC that it costs about 50$ per wheel. I really like the way that looks. I think I will do that as soon as I get my damn bed fixed from the hit and run.

Just click on that and copy either line of code and paste it in your thread reply...thats it! You might think about polishing the lip of the rims because , IMO, they help break up the black between the rim and the tire. Here is a pic of what I mean on TXSVTLIGHTNING's truck.



Upclose shot...

Just need to find you a quality shop. I think they charged around the same $300-400 to do them. Then to polish the lip I think TXSVTLIGHTNING used a detail/finishing sander with progressively finer paper to take off the powdercoating. Then once he got to the bare metal started using polishing agents to get the finish he wanted. It's been awhile since I asked him, but thats the jist of it. Hope you finally get your bike done man
