Looks good.

Don't really care for my factory chrome wheels and am considering that look. Is there a bit lighter gray available?

My only concern is how it holds up. But then again, it will likely need to be redone every couple years when rubber is replaced. I'd imagine replacing rubber will tear it up.

That was my thought too.

Is that before or after the glossifier? I thought that's how it looks without glossifier.

There are several "metallic" colors now available. It's holds up very well expect I realized tire shine has a little alcohol to it which acts like a solvent and is ruining mine so beware.

Unfortunately, no

This is with glossifier. It doesn't give it a clear cost, rather it increases the sparkle or flake. Unlike plastidip (thin coats), apply in heavy coats where it almost drips

Totally down with that. I'm so sick of black wheels - everyone seems to have them and I just don't like 'em anymore. But this looks really good I think! I like the grayish color (like my stock FX4s).

Looks good on your truck. I like the gunmetal look. Sucks that tire shine is messing it up. I saw some it at Home Depot the other day.
