Any way artillery rims look sharp! with bright shinning caps. the other thing to consiter is what do you like. Are they correct for your year. hope that helps Floyd.

No stripes or trim rings. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 64 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 64 | Thanks guys, black it will be, that way I don't have to worry about the powder coat color matching the Brewster Green Medium on the cab and bed.

(Most common is the wheels would be painted the stripe color)
There will be no additional charge or credit for either selection.
One other note regarding wheel painting/powdercoating. I have had a set of my wheels powdercoated in the past, and I will NEVER do that again. The areas around the bolt holes can build up the coating too thickly. The result is that when properly torquing the lugnuts you can damage the coating in this area. Further wear while driving can result in loose lugnuts. Unless you have special assurances from your powdercoater that he knows about this, I would strongly recommend a quality painting be done to the wheels instead of powdercoating. Touchups will be easier over the long haul as well. Just my opinion. | | |
