As the thread implies, I am seeking opinions on possible wheel combinations using stocker wheels. Below are pictures of my truck showing my black powdercoated wheels with and without the chrome center caps. Also, I took some pics of the truck with member XLR8R's OEM Satin finish wheels. I do not want the "polished" aluminum wheels, which I originally had at one point. So, I am contemplating making a change to the Satin Finish. No matter what wheel I go to I plan to upsize my tires to either a 315 All Terrain or a 35'' Mud Terrain. The Satin finish wheels below are riding on 315's. For the purposes of this poll, please disregard the tire size and make a selection based on the wheel "look" only, because the new tires will either be going on the current black wheel or the Satin wheels when I get them. I have already painted the ends of my axle tubes black and will be getting the lug nuts powdercoated black as well.

Thank you for your participation in my first ever poll on DTR.

 

keep it as-is....

very sharp looking truck.

 

i say keep what you have, its original, and not many people have wheels like that

fold your mirrors down, though

 

I'd say keep the mirrors out....but thats just me.....

 

Actually I do usually leave the mirrors down, but I was towing with it last weekend. I just wanted to try to keep the pics somewhat consistent. They are back down as we speak.

 

Personally Im a lover of lots and lots of chrome....however I like the blacked out look too. Just looking at the example pictures though, the all black and no center caps looks bland and there is nothing to break up the black anywhere on the truck except the headlights. I guess im just weird huh!

 

hmmm, can you have the center caps painted black at an auto body shop??

 

black with chrome caps

 

Personally, I feel that its your truck and do whatever makes you happy with it.
On a safety note, the center pieces would keep the lugs from accidentally coming off should they loosen for whatever reason.

 

I dig the black wheels/chrome caps.


If I had a set of steelies lying around id have them powdercoated black and roll chrome caps.

 

Paint the center caps to match the black wheels.

This will round out the "Stealth" look w/o the unfinished look of no center caps. (Looks bad that way to me)

Then get the Dodge blacked out Headlights to finish it off.

 

I like the idea of adding the blacked out headlights to your truck.

 

Your truck looks great as is, as you can see I like that look too, but w/ 20"s. The only thing I would do is try to find some of the center caps that fit in the hub hole and install chrome lug nuts.

Does anyone know of a center cap that would fit in the stock wheels???

 

I think personally it is too much black. Just my opinion. I like the looks with the stock wheels better. With the black wheels the truck looks like it is 2 miles long.

Needs chrome.
