Wheels for dark blue / pueblo two-tone

I have been searching to find pics of aftermarket wheels on a truck with the same paint scheme as mine with no luck. From what I have seen many people that have pueblo two-tone are running chrome wheels.

Any suggestions for wheels for my truck?
There are pics of my truck in my profile.

So far I have not found any that I believe would look better than the OEM ones with my paint scheme.

IMO on trucks with the gold lower two tone the chrome or polished aluminum wheels looks best. Black tends to add a third color to it more so than the chrome or aluminum. Plus with black wheels you really need black heads, tails etc. Saw another thread here recently where someone put some 09 platinum wheels on their truck. Those would look good on your truck I bet.

Stick to something chrome and flashy. The OEM Lariats with gold in them actually look very good though.

Yea, I read the thread earlier today, and I agree they pair well, looks good!! However I think I would just keep my OEM wheels verses going to another set of OEM wheels. To me there are 3 main reason to get away from OEM rims.
1. To be different/unique.
2. To improve overall look.
3. Functionality (i.e beadlocks) for offroad / track use etc.

By going with another OEM wheel I may improve looks to an extent, but there will be many other trucks with the same wheels, even if it is a different body style.

I appreciate the advice guys however the search continues....Still open to more suggestions.

I'm in the same boat. I love the OEM 20's, but my future plans are for this to be driveable show truck, so oems would look silly on a lowered f150 with numerous interior and exterior mods. Mean Gene's truck is outstanding and I would love that as a second truck if I were older. For my purposes tho, oem 20s make no sense.

As far as aftermarket I always thought the XD revolver looked good in chrome but it only came in a 18" wheel and I wanted a 20".

I think I want to stick with 18's. First of the year I am getting new tires, so if I decide to get different rims, I want to be able to move the tires over.

wheels..

[IMG][/IMG]I've got a blue 07 FX4 and I went through the same thing you are for a long time. IMHO unless you are really going to get into color scheming your vehicle (blackout, etc) your best pick is chrome. Like some others have stated, if you start adding another color to your truck it might start being a little too much. And the chrome wheel has got to make you happy cause after all, it's your truck and money.
