    hey guys, just test fitted my dick cepek summer rims and tires today, make sure theres no rubbing issues. they fit perfectly, 265/70/16 tires fill the wheel wells a lot better and the offset of the rims bring them out a bit too.

    question is do i leave them the way they are or paint the rims all black? i find its TOO much silver with these rims, they looked awesome on my all black tundra... what do u guys think?

    They look good either way, but I'm a bigger fan of all black.

    all black is played out i think. painting an ugly stock steely is one thing, but your rims look like nice aluminum ones. sell them, paint ugly stock steelies and put some money in your pocket?
