    I have to agree with HRP on choosing wheels, after all it is "Y'alls" Ride, however, as you mentioned, the color coded steelies with chrome caps and beauty rings sure do look good on a pick-em-up truck. Bottomline is, if your wheel choice turns out even half as nice as your paint, then you will have an awesome ride no matter the selection.

    I like the style on my car which lets the calipers 'shine through', The ones you show on the Studester while nice, wont IMHO do a thing for your new one. This is what my 5 spokers look like. The front calipers are polished Wilwoods, but I actually like the contrasting black rears better. The only reason for not changing - $$$$

    Here's what I went with.

    I think a painted rim would look good with chrome caps and wheel rings.

    Don, I'm kind of with you...the accent paint color could really make the rig look sharp. Just need the right kind of picture to show the better half so she can see what I'm envisioning...

    Those look really nice, Dave...I've thought about that general style as well. I suspect those are around a $5-600 wheel? Thanks for your input!
