Two tone grey and orange. Paint the top gun metal grey down to about 3 inches below the top of the fender, then orange the rest of the way down.

I think it looks good as is, but the Prostars wouldnt hurt the looks. These trucks look good either way.

I think it looks good the way it sits.  Nice stance and all.

Keep the 20's on it and add color...

Do you know the name or item number of your wheels?  Or can you refer me to a website?  Thanks

Edit: I found them.  Series 6002. They look good.

I think you should go with pearl white. White looks good on the shorties and in the Tucson heat, you and your truck will probably appreciate the light color.
