    Whatever, be all bro with your methods!

    I do like the mock up you did of the bronze methods.

    I like them for 3rd gens. The F5's were a little too subtle for the Tundra and I wasn't into the no center cap on a non-wheeling rig. Wanted something more finished and opted for the black bolts rather than stainless.

    Not that I'm over but I don't think they look good on the color of my vehicle. I think it makes it look a lot more purple and gunmetal would look best, especially with my bumpers and flares.

    If I did buy those F5s, I don't know if it'd be best to color match them to my flares and bumper as being afraid it'd be too much matching. I may just be being weird

    I know people rag on plastidip but I would try that first as it will retain the original finish and if you hate it, it's gone in 15 min.

    Paint comes in Friday. I'll be painting it Friday night, clear coat, and polish. Crossing my fingers the color isn't off by much. Atleast it's crystal metallic and on the bottom of the bumper where it's not too noticeable.

    I love my f5s. Was the first aluminum wheel I could find with 3.5bs and looked good.

    Probably find a 5-speed 3rd gen to clean up for around 6-7k. I like driving a full size, but it's kind of a pain in the ass.
