If you wanna see flat black look at Trimble's truck. I think its actually herculiner, but you'll get the idea. It goes good with his truck, but unless you're slammed to the ground or running 52" michelins, I would go with something a little more normal. If your wanting to run black wheels though any of the greys, whites, or reds would look sweet. Even the dark blues look good with black rims if you can paint the flairs like the FX4 trim style.

thats what i was thinking, i think i am set on the dark graphite/gray color and might be keeping my finders black havent decided on that yet

of course it depends how much my dads buddy is going to charge me to change colors i might just have to keep the black thats why at first i was thinking flat or semi flat because it would be the same color but still a little different

I think you're just making stuff up now dude, pewter metallic sounds like a chevy color.
