No, the black out look is a fad that is hopfully going out soon, black wheels may as well just be spare's as far as im concerned and make most trucks look cheap IMO.

Hopefully that was sarcasm.

well i took the pics with my blackberry so yea they suck, but did you atleast see them and get the idea of the truck? I will try to upload higher quality pics later. So do you think the painting the stock rims black will look good?

In my opinion, projectors don't belong on our trucks...this coming from experience. Poor fitment and light output just doesn't justify the price you pay.

I say don't go black black with your wheels. Instead, shoot for a gun metal grayish color, that way you still have some contrast between the wheels and tires.

Even if I left the aftermarket rims 16s would the rebel racing ones or any other black aftermarket ones that are 16s still look good? because im used to seeing oversized wheels with low profile tires but just with the tires I have and 16 inch wheels would that look good?
