Oh yea, if you go silver on truck , black rims look good. Specially with black accents.



Looks like 20% tint on windows. Same I have on my truck. Like he said, here in the South, it gets damn hot!!!

I've never been a fan of red and black. Ted only looks good with chrome or polished. But if your truck was metallic silver, the truck would look way bad ***. I love those wheels, are those real bead locks?

Yeah for sure, it's just so much $$ to do anything, I have to take my time with it. But no they're not, just a cap. A very good looking rim, I'm very pleased. Plus my ride is soooo much better overall with these a/t's although I love the look of an m/t tire, they wear too fast for all of the road driving I do.
