Lol, nice wheel choice Looks good.

I though the center caps were rediculously long and ugly also...snapped one on and poped it right back off because it looked bad. I just cleaned up the hubs with a wire wheel on a drill and sprayed them silver...

Look great! Yeah fully forged wheel with a 3600lb/44" tire rating and only 26lbs was all I needed to hear. Oh and, I'll be stealin' your look soon, but one question, where does the drill fall into the equation?

7Lug...I had a wire brush like THIS:



That I stuck in my drill and used to clean up the hubs. Cleaned them up fast and easy...and they were RUSTY! The drill just made it easier/faster to clean them

You know I've been thinkin about what it is that "evens it out" and I really think it's the 2-tone that breaks up the body. I parked next to the exact same truck yesterday but it was that dark toreador red and it looked kinda ugly. Just massive without any nice lines and the bed looked HUGE, not only long but disproportionately tall - I really didn't like it.

Very nice, now I get it. Thanks, I'm going to dust off the old corded drill and get to work! Thanks again, I'll show you how it looks when it's done. I've even considered doing the hubs 2 match the two tone on the bottom but I think I'll stick with the silver

A little late on this thread. I have the same truck, and those wheels don't look too bad for C-lines. Yea, you gotta paint the centers. Nice truck my 7 lug brutha!
