Arrow Tough color option

I have a golden bronze metallic 2011 Lariat ecoboost and need help with some options. Since I don't see this color very much i cant decide what to go with.

I want to put 20" rims on later but should I go with black or chrome, or mix?

Also want to put HIDs on, smoked or chrome?

Having trouble picturing what will look best. I do want to keep the classier look.

OEM(non gray/black), Chrome, or Polished IMO. Would go with the chrome housings on the HID headlights. Personally like @PawPaw old truck and how he had it setup on the 305/55. Also remove cow killer for a cleaner look. WOuld also consider getting a PTM grill surround and '14+ lariat/KR grill

go with a bronze rim, with polished lip. with that color it will look totally different than every other truck you see. to me a totally black rim is overplayed and i don't like chrome unless a combo with a another color.

I dont like when trucks try to color match too much. I was thinking a different grill, looking into the newer lariat grill.

That would look great with a PTM surround.
