    Anyone have pictures of a blue truck with blue FN Wheels on it? Considering that combo but not sure how it'll look since the blue of my truck won't be anywhere close to the blue of the wheels

    Glad to hear you're considering our wheels. Thank you.

    Generally speaking, I recommend that customers with blue trucks install just about any color of wheels that we make other than the dark metallic blue.

    The problem is that the two blues don't match, but they are somewhat similar, so it would look like you were trying to color match your wheels but you missed. A customer once described it perfectly when he said it looks like "denim on denim."

    I can't find any instances of a customer with a blue truck installing our dark metallic blue wheels, but here are some close up pictures of the wheels themselves.

    The color changes quite a bit depending on lighting. These photos were taken in direct light. I'll attach some pictures that were taken in different lighting in the two posts below.

    If you have more questions or need anything else please let me know. You can call, text, email or send me a message here on the forum.

    @FNWheels those definitely look nice but I agree with your assessment. I think that would look off on a blue truck, even if you had black fender flares to try and create more of a border between truck body and wheel, I still think that might not work visually. Fun way to add some blue to a non-blue truck, so I definitely approve :headbang:

    I really like the sound of that. My truck is a nice bright blue, and I'm hoping the noticeably darker blue will go well together.

    The blue trucks I've seen with blue wheels are all close but not quite matching, which I think looks worse than having distinct shades of the same color together.

    They aren't cultured like us.
