Need opinions on how to Customize Ballistic Jester (pics)

Okay, so good ole :santa: is bringing 20x9 Ballistic jesters, and I know I dont like a few details on the wheels....Thanks to lsracer, I now have an image of what I think I'd like!

Its the Ballistic Jester, with the huge ***** around the edge taken off (just bolted on), and studs off of the XD Addict replacing them.

Also, the Red inserts will be painted either CHROME, or OXFORD WHITE to match the truck, which do you think ???

or white inserts and chrome bolts

The only reason I was thinking of leaving bolts and lugs chrome is to tie-in my chrome bumpers?

haha the solution to that is ptm bumpers haha. i guess either way it would work but just white bolts and inserts would be something no one else woud have and look really good with the truck but either way white or chrome on the bolts will look good

Haha yeah i gotcha....I dont mind the chrome bumpers, so I think I'm gonna leave them. Im leaning towards white inserts, chrome bolts, and chrome lug nuts, thatll be a little chrome but not too much.

Hm..actually I dont know..is there a big price jump from 33's to 35's??

and dont you run into gearing issues and all that??

The rims im getting are -12mm offset with 4.5" BS, so theyre going to be poking out quite a bit, so I was told because of that I better stick with 33's?

Id have to go to a Nitto TG also, because they dont make that Coop in a 35

I'm not sure how the insets will look painted white. Maybe a different finish black for a subtle difference. Or a silver or chrome would look great.
