    Happy to post my pics - the Tonneau Cover was my latest add - took me 1.5 hours when instructions said 45 mins...but super happy with it.

    Thanks all! So, question about powder coating wheels...to powder coat or not the original rims (all black). Thoughts?

    If you like the style, do it. Or get different ones and make it unique.

    My vote on wheels black em out, are you going to color match door handles and mirror caps? Are you mirror caps chrome as well? Or black out? What's your grille look like?

    Welcome from Walla Walla.

    If you like the rims as is and stance(offset) of the stock rim and just want it all black instead of the milled accents then do it. But if wanting a different stance than stock I'd start looking for new rims. You could get spacers and that would change your stance but I have heard and seen to many horror stories of improper fitment and wheel coming off as driving. Better to get a new set of wheels with offset you are looking for.

    Thanks for the welcome! I like the rims as is and stance, just playing all the truck black and chrome accents off of each other and like the look of black wheels.

    Welcome from Texas! Great looking truck!

    Getting them powder coated can be a pain unless you have another set of wheels and tires. If not you will not have use of the truck for a few days. Tires have to be removed for P.C. and then reinstalled.

    Flux capacitor!
    Welcome. If you want to powder coat the wheels they have to be sand blasted to remove the OEM paint. Then they can apply the powder coating. Just a suggestion. Go to a local vinyl installer and have them install vinyl over the bare metal area of the rim. Personally I would do a red vinyl, matte black or another dark tone to complement next to the high gloss black on your rims. It would make your wheels look very nice! Plus it would be less expensive and can be done with the tires left on the rims. You can also have any other parts on your truck done by vinyl company at the same time to save on cost if you go that route.1B9E4FDE-3FF4-4191-9F05-5E3773030C88.jpg

    Personally. I like the OEM wheels...maybe because I'm a frugal mofo and they came free with the truck!
