Grab some black Plastidip and black out your emblems. The beautiful thing about it is that it can be removed extremely easily. I blacked out the trim on my truck and G8 GT.

From your pics of the rims, i would say the 3rd pic also. They look sweet, and you don't see them on every other truck.
Also, did you do the tint yourself? If you did, what brand and percent did you use? Looks like it matches perfect. I want to redo mine. It has a slight mirror finish on it and doesn't match like i would like it to.

I took it to a local tint shop here in richmond Ky, I honestly don't know what percent tint they are. I asked him to match the back windows factory tint and he did a hell of a job!

Do you think I should do this even if I buy new chrome wheels? Hmm

Plasti dip the bumpers then paint over the dip with color match paint the way Rossi did his. Black wheels on a blue truck look good.

I may go that route and PTM the bumpers and handles. Still might go with chrome though
