    LOL...I thought I was the only one that didn't like ALL black wheels. I like black wheels, but only if the have a little "accent" to them.
    My son's truck...he picked them out, but I greatly approve.

    Eh you can actually kinda see yours and they even have some red detail to set them off a little. They lack invisibility. I like those pretty well. Unacceptable!

    They look pretty good on Tacomas, 4Runners and FJs if they have minimal or no chrome. But the other day I saw a new king ranch Ford F-250 crew cab mega-truck with chrome grille, bumpers, mirrors and tube steps, chrome lift-kit parts, etc. Then it had giant black XD rims.

    That might look only slightly disgusting on a silver or black truck, but this one was a MAROON and GOLD two-tone. The owner clearly could not decide whether he wanted the wealthy contractor look, the chromed-out pavement queen look or the blacked-out backwards-hat bro-dude look, so he picked them all at the same time. What a horrifying mess.

    Exactly. So guys, be sure and set your camera's f-stop to 1.4 and overexpose your filmy slightly in the dark room, then add sepia tone but only to the wheel portion of the pic, and of course, only with a western aspect setting pre-dusk sun at your rear right shoulder. It's THAT easy to see what your wheels look like! Can't wait to possibly almost sort of see them in all their glory!
    Also, please always drive by me with the precise proper lighting so I can see what they look like in real life, too. Thanks.
    Btw, I have zero idea WTF an f-stop is.

    Agree with ryanbjoutin. You must find this trophy truck and start its own dedicated joog thread.

    If I see it again I definitely will. I just graduated from a flip phone to a smart phone so I forget that there is a camera in my pocket at all times.
