That is a good looking truck. I like what you have done so far.

I love the Silver Ingot paint.

JUST ORDERED:

D. Cepek Gun Metal 7 Wheels
20x9 +13mm Offset

Goodyear Duratrac Tires
285/60/20

The Wheels are supposed to be a "Machined Polished" face......I ordered just the one corner for fitment/cosmetic decision (1 tire/1wheel/1TPMS) Not sure how it's gonna look not being chrome!? Still undecided if I want the chrome wheels (XD-Spy)
If it looks good I will buy the other 3 corners, if not I can return it as long as I do not drive on it!!!

Thoughts!?

I think machined looks pretty good on a silver truck. Here's hammer40's truck for what machined/silver looks like:

I think machine polished wheels would look great. The pictures of the truck just posted, look phenomenal.

I'd love to see a pic of that wheel on, once it arrives. I am still trying to decide what I want to do with mine.

i have seen the trend of "blacken out" every where (wheels, trim, bumpers) i must say it's not a good look to me. if thats your taste hey thats great enjoy it. but what you got going on there (joh408) is one sexy truck to me.

LOVE IT!! The Wheel/Tire came in....I mounted it on the front and for the last picture I photoshopped the tire onto the back. I jacked up the truck in the front to simulate the leveling kit that will be going on. Going to order the other three next month ($$$) to complete the setup!

NOTE: This setup will NOT fit without the leveling kit! It rubbed the front bumper valance and also when at full lock it rubbed on the rear part of the fender well! With the "simulated" level it fit no problem!

GOOD Thing I was already planning on getting fender flares....this setup needs it! Tires stick out roughly 2" from fender on the front.
This setup is noticeably heavier at than the stock setup, but not as heavy as my last trucks wheels (305-55-20 Nitto Trail Grapps w/ROUSH Chrome 20" wheels) I'm glad I did not go with the 305's this time around, the 285 width is perfect! These tires look AWESOME!

MORE PICS in my GALLERY! BUT, honestly pics do not do it justice!!
