Not my cup of tea, but not to to bad imo.. I would run the magnets on the back of the wheels.. Yah I know it isn't perfect like that but looks 1000 times better..

wow those centerlines looked good but your truck can pull off anything holy ****, haha. I am thinking about picking up some Titan wheels for like 200 bux and putting some tires on it. Im tired of scraping and I cant afford a bad *** wheel and tire combo that I want

I like those wheels better than the centerlines. I dont like the archers at all.

I have the same exact truck, except LB. I am trying to find some N88 option gmc wheels and was going to have to explore the center cap thing as well.

What are the center caps off of?

Think it looks great. Those have always personally been some of my favorite stockers. The stance looks perfect.

Thanks for all the compliments guys!

For the center caps they are the stock ones sanded down, polished and re-cleared.

looks good.. you might be able to tuck the 275/60's
I have 255/60's on my 17s and I can tuck em pretty easy.

You need to drop that thing down more.

These were clearcoated the esky's probably are too.

For the rims themselve thet were slightly hazed so i polished them up with meguires m205, on my PC

the center caps i did 220,320,400 then skipped to 2000 then used the buffer with m105, then m205

by skipping to 2000 it left a brushed look, so they are not a high polish.

do you have a pic of the rim?

IMO, don't drop it anymore. It looks great like it is.
