I like that look with just the flares and not the trim too.

I really like them color matched though.

I saw that they do offer different colors for the band of "bead lock" on the face of the rim. Could be wrong but I was interested too and this is what I have found.
I don't think they are classic locks. No wanna be rivets on the bead of the rim...If we could get the OP to clear up the question, that would be great..

Thanks alot everyone, just incase anyone was wondering, I priced out what it would cost to have a shop do the body work and paint and I calcuated that I save about 1200 dollars doing it the way I did.

I don't know if this question was for me but just incase...it runs great with the mods. It did mid 12's in the 1/4 mile before I put the twins on so she goes pretty good. The deaver springs ride 1 billion % better over the lift that came on it (lift blocks and original springs). Im working on a p-pump conversion, custom 5" exhaust, and a custom dash right now to house all my guages and a REAL trashcan in the cab now so that project will be for the winter months.

Sorry for posting an answer if this question was not intended for me.

oh. yeah i didn't know who it was for hehe. Anyway, got s300/400 twins, 125hp sticks, laser cut dv's, 366 spring, denny t fuel pin, pump work, 4 in exhaust w/ 5" tip, head studs, 410 gears, Getrag trans (soon to be built nv4500 w/ sb 3600dd), bigger fuel lines, guages, etc etc...

The tires are 33x12.5" (basically factory size I think) so they arent that different. I know Im leaving out alot but thats all I can think of for now.

Rifleman, in no way did I think you were calling me a liar. I turned 50 this year and 4 years ago my "reading" eye sight went to heck in a handbasket. So anyway did we ever get an answer from the OP on his wheels?
