Honestly i think some black and chrome machined wheels would look great on there. Something like BlackThundah has on his truck.

I'm glad you saved it from the florida sun too. Its a cool color and its always cool to have something unique. I agree with fx4project that some black and chrome style wheels would look good on there. Either some 079s like I got or some of these: http://www.aewheel.com/eagle_alloy_w...d=4817&cat=472. If I ever get 20s, I'll be going with these.

Finished a few updates on the truck in the last week. Got my new heads, corners and fogs in along with HIDs in the heads and fogs, also got my towing mirrors on and new wheels and tires.

Ew, those mirrors kill the look of the truck. But otherwise you've got one nice looking truck man. And by the way HIDs are illegal to run in headlights and fog lights unless they're put into housing made for them. And none of the lights on these trucks are made for HIDs.

Why aren't they legal? Nowhere have I seen them considered illegal. The retrofit source even has DOT approved projectors now. Dot approved headlight housings and dot approved projector housings.

I know about the hids cause everyone thinks it's okay to run them and think they have better light output when they really don't. And the mirrors don't look right with he body style of truck. They just don't match.
