Id say gold and black it is a pretty good color combo.

Did you have to put spacers on to use the third gen wheels i thought i had heard or read somewhere that they were needed to run them on first gens.

I'm diggin the Black and gold too but I like all the Color combo's I mentioned

They just barely clear with some 1/8" thick washers on the studs between the wheel and hub just barely, I am gonna get some spacers though so the front and rear have the same track width

I vote for silver on top and bottom and blue in the middle.
That's a serious ouch! :shock:
Did you inspect the bottom for oil leaks while it was up there? ;)

That would look sexy too

Yeah I got a few hours in the cab gettin halfway straight :wrench:

No I already knew it leaked and didn't figure it would do any good when all the oil was in the top of the motor and it was -10 that night, I walked back to town, good thin I was only a mile from home

I vote the same, except to add a strip of black spray on bedliner along the bottom side of the whole truck, plus spray the bed and have them bring it up over the rail much like a metal or plastic rails would look.

Wheels look awesome! Being a Bengals fan (and seeing Steelers jerseys all the time around here :x ) I couldn't possibly advise black and gold. My vote goes to two tone blue. My dad used to have a 2 tone blue 86 Ramcharger and I thought it looked great.
