Finally got wheels done today. Went with the Ballistics, and don't regret it one bit - they look great, and already in the couple of hours I've had them on I've had a bunch of compliments. There's a little more "silver" on them than I would prefer, but they still look great. 20x9 w/ -12 offset. Tires stick out about 1-1/2" to 2". Looks alright from the front, but will look a lot better once it's leveled with some bigger tires. Only complaint is none of the wheels were sent with the hub centric rings, so I'm going to have to buy those myself, as the ride is a little more harsh right now than I would like.
Tires look pretty small from the side. I'm gonna have to wait to get that fixed though, as I'm going to run these tires till they're dead.
Get the rear inner wheel well liners and it will clean up the back end and make the wheel tire combo look better...
Killer lookin' truck man. I too am loving my Lightning Blue, wish it had the color matched bumper though, but the chrome is growing on me. Since so many get rid of the chrome, I've decided to keep it. Will be getting chrome or polished side steps and eventually want to do some chrome wheels like the Pro Comp 69, that have more of a classic off-road look.
Those Anzos are sweet and definitely on the want list! Keep up the sick build!
Thanks man! I don't blame you for keeping the chrome - it can look pretty good if the truck is modified correctly. Really when you think about it trucks are some of the only vehicles with lots of chrome, as cars and crossovers and SUVs always have color-matched everything. So the chrome does set trucks apart from other vehicles already - I don't see why it's always gotta be a bad thing. My last truck everything was de-chromed except for the bumpers, and it actually still looked pretty good.

Alright, this post is long overdue, but I just haven't had the time to take pictures or actually share anything about it. About 5 weeks ago I put on the T-Rex upper and lower grilles, as I'd seen pictures before and thought that they looked pretty cool.
What do you guys think?
Everyone at work and all my friends love it... I'm curious what some of you think.
To be honest I'm not over the moon about it. I like it, but I still can't decide whether I like it more or less than the stock grill. From far away it looks pretty menacing, and it certainly makes the grill look bigger, which is what I was going for, but up close I can't shake the feeling that it looks the teeniest bit mickey mouse. Of course I'm probably just extra picky as it's my truck...
The grill works well with that color truck. well done!
See that's exactly what I thought when I first saw the pictures of it online. All the best looking combos with this grill were with the Lightning Blue, so I agree 100%, thanks for the input!

Yeah I can't quite pin what it is, but looking at it I can see where you're coming from.
Only because you asked. I don't like the grille. Its just too big and "plain". Plus seeing all those silver fasteners. Not trying to be rude, but if you like it, then rock it.

Ah hah! Finally someone that's not a fan. Like I said in my post, I'm still in the middle with it. I actually really like that it's big, but I agree that it's plain. I've actually been thinking about what kind of emblem to put in the middle. Me and a friend have actually been hard at work starting up a custom laser-cutting/metal fab business, so if I want to I can custom-make whatever symbol or emblem I want, and then paint it and throw it in the grill. The only question is what can I put there that won't look stupid??
Also, I should clarify that the silver you see isn't fasteners. The whole grill and hardware is black, that silver is flat washers that I put on the back to better secure the grill. It didn't even occur to me that the silver would show through, and I actually never really thought about it until you pointed it out. Hindsight I should have painted them...
