i like the clean look of painted bumpers. Although my color is tough to find rims for.

depends, what are your plans for it suspension wise? i personally dont think longbeds with stock suspension look good at all, no matter what kind of paint, rims, or any other cosmetic alteration for that matter. not hating, just opinionated.

color matched and what size rim. black rim with a silver truck looks good but it has to be a good lookin rim and tire setup to pull it off. i've just seen people getting like 18's and it doesnt look right imo
