do you think it would look good with my truck being silver
 






I think it would, it gives a little bit of an aggressive look, but you should probably paint that cladding while your at it too so it could line up. But your car already has some black on it like the bedliner and some trim so I think the black wheels would kinda tie things together. Either way its reversible if you really don't like it.
 






thats a old pic the cladding is already painted black lol
 






Ohh ok than even more of a reason to do it haha
 












Nice lookin truck I really like the way your clear corners go with it, looks really clean. IT would look nicer with black wheels tho IMO haha
 






My trac is silver and im going for the blacked out look. So far so good IMO

I didn't want all black rims because I think the polished aluminum looks good with silver but my rims have black inside walls and the face is the polished aluminum. Paint your cladding and black the lights out then get your windows tinted and it'll look mean. I'm doing my headlights and window tint soon
 












i love the tails as well.

It holds up fine. I did a rust coating first then 2 coats of the flat black. Way cheaper to do them yourself as opposed to powder coating.
 






Brent, where do you find the graphite paint?
 






You can find it at any parts store.
 






my names mike im the one looking into graphite colored wheel paint brent is the one with ubove my post with the black wheels on the black trac
 






Mike, you can find Graphite, Gun Metal, Black Chrome, etc... wheel and or high temp paint in most any car parts stores.
