    I like the Al. But if I was going with painted I'd go with green or black that matched the truck . And I love the truck . The yellow looks good too . Blue
     
  4. I'm with Blue, green or black. If you want something more noticeable, how about a lighter green? Yellow and red just don't tie in with the green/black combo for me.

  7. I suggested the lighter green, but I am not feeling that either, actually like the yellow better.

    Black or dark green look best, IMO.

    Thanks for the opinions. Hard decision to make.
     
  12. One thing about painted wheels, if you don't like the color, you can try again.

    I agree a million percent with the swap to budd style wheels.
    color?
    You had me at "give an older appearance"

    the tough part for me is finding the right wheel, not one with 4 hand holes, that looks more period-correct...

    If my intent was period-ish, I think I'd ditch the chrome altogether and go with a green and black combo to match the truck... Maybe black where the chrome is on the dark green wheels...

    Can't make up your mind? Go different color on each side. Been driving that way for 20 years :)
