Re: which wheels would look better?

That is a hard choice, but I would photoshop it first to see if that helps. You want to make sure you get exactly what you want if you are going to spend that kind of money (make sure they fit right too). I am partial to the gray since I just mounted some bonspeed huntingtons with gray centers on my blazer and I'm very happy with them. But since your truck is black I'm not sure.

Re: which wheels would look better?

The ones that are on it look the best, but the black ones would look best with your paint job

Re: which wheels would look better?

I think the photoshop idea is best fo rthis one. The grey will look good with any color, black may be too much black?? Nice truck though!

Re: which wheels would look better?

You cannot go wrong with either - but I am a sucker for gunmetal on black.
