Gang,

In pondering what to do with the wheels, I'm leaning toward having the stockers powdercoated charcoal. Not interested in Chrome. Cost for all four to be stripped, powdercoated, then shot with clear is in the neighborhood of $500. Below image is the idea..

I know, I know, it looks as if they spent the day on a road course... hmmmm

Thoughts?

 

Bob,
IMO that is too dark. I like either stock or chrome on the stock rims, especially on silver...JR

However it's your baby!!!!!

 

I dont know; Has anyone looked into JETHOT coating to match the exhaust tips? I'm not sure if it can be done on awheel or not.

 

Not my taste looks like a car that had its hubcaps stolen. But not my truck so do what you want.

I've got some brake pads that will make them look like that.

cool, wish i would have thought of that when i had my 93 lightning. actually, wish i still had that lightning but the gas was killing me out here is so. cal. and with new baby comming well, must get a 4-door.

 

only if she was a black truck

 

she was black with dealer installed pin stripes, actually painted on, not stickers. blue and silver and i had the side stickers removed by the dealer as i always thought it broke up the side of the truck too much.

 

HaHaHaHa

 

Gents,

Thanks for the replies thus far. It's still in the idea stage...

Spike,

I'm sure you do... LOL

bumpage

 

Bob,

I think something like Ben photoshopped would be cool, kind of a graphite look??

 

Richard,

Exactly. Have to give Big6 credit for this too. He has mad photoshop skillz...

The tone would match the bed runners, tailgate 'lip', and the grill.

Bob

 

Have to agree that the graphite look on the red truck above would look pretty sweet on a silver L.

 

Well Robert..............

I actually think it looks pretty cool.
