Imho, that's the best look for duallies. I still would really like to find a non-dually set of Alcoas off an old Ford for my truck :roll:

Looks good :D

Nicely done!

A trick I learned from the VW crowd. To give the trim a nice look, textured black pray paint. Doe this:

That was smooth paint. The texturing looks nice and not cheap. MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN THE MOLDING GOOD! PREP IS EVERYTHING!

The guys that do this strip the paint, heat gun, and rubbing alcohol the trim to prep it nice.

Looks classy. That's the look I'd be going for if I were to get some rims.

Looks really good.

Now you're gonna have problems like me though. I hit my nasty wheels with some acid a while ago, and they cleaned up so well that the rest of the truck looks like hell in comparison. I had to go out and wash it, then clean some of the trash out of the interior, then wash the windows. I thought it would never end. :mrgreen:

Lol, ya, the yellow coming through on the front trim is buggin me to death, is there a place to get all new exterior trim (the cheap black plastic with chrome and the fender well linings?)

Truckwrench, ya, the studs are actually mounted to adaptors that give me a ford bolt pattern and stud size, so its truely ford wheels on ford adaptors on dodge hubs

Meeeeeeeeeee twoooooooooo that looks awsome.

is there any way you could say what the rims set you back ? ? ?

take some of the spray can bed liner and spray the trim, it makes it look new.
