Here is the link to what I'm working with ----> http://www.gmsquarebody.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7667

The wheels are white, but they are rusty. I'd like to paint them or something. Do I go with white again (nothing else on truck is white) or do I go black? I'm not really partial to black wheels, but I don't hate them.

Option two is to try to pick up a set of used chevy wheels on craigslist..

16's or 16.5's?

16's - Re-paint them to match your bottom cream color.

16.5 - Find new wheels. Quality tires seem to be disappearing for this size wheel.

IMo forget the black crap. if you say there's nothing else white on the truck, well is there anything black?

I hate black wheels because if they are done shiney they out do the tires and make them look always dirty and nasty.

IMO do silver or color match them to the truck color or whatever color you'd want.

Well the bed is black. I might try to match them to the tan on the cab.

I saw the pics and if you plan to reuse the dog dish hubcaps it's not gonna show much anyways so I think black would be ok. Or even the upper color of the truck.

Honestly for me I'd so silver, like close to chrome, but any color works not being much seen.
