Would these rims look half decent plasti-dipped? I don't have the imagination to picture it!

My suggestion is to finish all mechanical concerns before any modifications. You could always post up a nice side picture of your truck and ask someone to photoshop the wheels black. I personally have an issue with aftermarket wheels where you cant see the lugnuts. But if you like them then thats all that matters.

Thanks for the suggestion. Timing overhaul would have been done already if it wasn't for bad timing. I do not have the proper place or transportation while doing the overhaul. It will be a couple of months until then.

The rims came with the truck. I think they are a 4/10 at best. Is there a specific post for photoshopping?

Kind of pushing it at 4/10. I would keep an eye out for some stock 20s. The 04-08s looked nice, but the 09-14s look really sharp as well with a set of mud or all terrains on them.

good looking truck, I think those wheels would look much better all black. Honestly I don't think they could look any worse, not trying to be mean but they are fugly lol. I have stock 20's that are in pretty rough shape if you're interested, I kind of wanted to hold onto them but I'd let them go for the right price.
