    IMG_4446.jpg Hi. I'm new to this forum, this is my first post. Forgive me if I'm putting this in the wrong section

    Just thought I could use a few opinions on my truck.

    Should I paint my trucks wheels matte black?? Just put new All-Terrain 32x11.50 tires on the stock wheels. Or clean them up and keep them the same. Opinions?

    I prefer gloss but either way the 3 spoke rims look pretty good in black

    Ahh thanks for the link. I see that the guys who painted their wheels black have black fenders and door handles too. I'll keep the chrome :D and just clean them up
