I know you don't like chrome, but a simple chrome center cap on a black wheel looks awesome. Kind of like the 2nd gen in my gallery.

Just my 2 cents

I like the white! Spray paint them and let it ride for a while, then decide.

Ya! Beauty rings! They are like a hubcap except they are about 3in. wide with no center and snap on the edge of the rim like a hubcap. They cover just the inner edge of the rim. If i could figure how to post a photo i would show you. Now ya'all might have another name for them but that's what i know them by.

Shelby, I think there is a member here on DTR that has a white single cab with the steel rims painted white. I think his username is Alwaysworking so you might try looking in his gallery to see if he has any pics.

I think they should be silver. I always thought that was a nice touch on the LE's. White is the standard for commercial trucks and looks good, but high maintenance. Black looks tough, but IMO needs chrome lug nuts and white letter tires to break it up.

Oh, and GASGANO, your truck looks GREAT with the bottom blacked out and YOUR wheels need to be mettalic gunmetal gray. It would look AWESOME!
