Well, after a week I decided that maybe it didn't look as good as I tried to tell myself it did. I thought the wheels themselves looked great but they took away too much of the looks of the truck. I have been thinking about doing this for a couple years now and I just had to try it no matter how it ended up looking. I put the stock chrome clads back on for now and I'm gonna paint these black and see how I like that. If that doesn't work then it will be back to some nice shiny Dodge rims again....
Thanks for all the comments good and bad. They all helped me make my decision. I expect the same once I get them back on in black.
They are already painted right now. I'm just waiting for the paint to dry........

I actually think they looked great and different...not bling bling but classic...that said I think I won the pool on how long it would take you to change something on your truck...One week is the winner.

Aw Heck. I figured everybody was telling me they liked them so my feelings wouldn't be hurt.
It's still the Mega Pimp Van no matter what wheels are on it... I really like my chrome clad alloys but I don't want to pay the $$$ to switch the tires between the two sets of wheels. I hope the black looks good but we'll see....

The Black wheels look great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Until I put them on the truck that is.
The two toned paint sure makes things difficult!
So, now to decide if I switch these tires over to some other rims or try to just sell them as they are, BRAND NEW, to someone with a white or black truck....
It just never ends for me does it?!?!?!

Well, I'm just too cheap to go buy more wheels or even to pay to switch these tires between the two sets of rims. I sat at my computer last night and photoshopped all these pictures so the rims were black and I actually really like it. My wife even commented that it looked much better than the gold. I'm putting them on this evening and then I'll get more pics up
I know before I said the black looked worse than the gold but I had only put one rim on the truck and looked at it for 1 minute before deciding I didn't like it. If I end up not liking the black then I will get some of the chrome wheelskins for these rims.......
I don't want anybody calling me a woman anymore either even though I can't make my mind up!!!!!

Give me a week or two and see if I still like these. If not, then I will be selling them. As hard as it is to believe, I had a hard time finding these.....

I'm running the same wheels on mine which I had powdercoated black and am running black Dodge center caps. I wanted to go for the "Old Powerwagon" look, and with my EMS front lockout hubs sticking out from my custom machined front hubcaps, I think it achieves that! I get lots of comments and looks on my truck and I didn't spend $2K for the wheels!
