    going to try to get them from wheelers since apparently these wheels clear the calipers in 15 inch but i'd get them in 16inch if they don't but idk whether to stick with black or go back to aluminum?

    link is a pic of my truck as it sits today (i have black grill surround, badges and bumpers)

    idk which one?

    i like both and the style i just don't know which color haha. I have blacked out everything so on one hand i think the black ones would be a lot better but then on the other i want to change things up and get the polished with black lugs or a black center maybe idk.

    the polished def make the tire look bigger and breaks things up a little

    I'd go with the polished 1079's as some others have said. They will set off your truck a lot more.:cool:
