Great looking truck. But it really is a personal preference. I've always liked white letters out if the tires had them. Must be an 80s thing....

A set of stainless (not the cheapo chrome) trim rings would help break up the black since the white letters aren't there anymore.

Quality trim rings fit most any steel wheel with a standard type barrel. But sometimes the cheaper ones don't fit that great on non-stock wheels. So then if they don't fit, you have those unsightly scratches in the rim for all to see.

May have to look into that. Are they called beauty rings?

That's alotta black! If beauty rings will mount to those aftermarket wheels, they'd look great. Back in the day, did that with a couple base model chevy 4x4s with steelies. Paint rims black, chrome center caps and trim rings.
