New wheels in the morning!
« on: August 05, 2015, 04:15:15 pm »
My stock 15x6 rims just got painted white, got the shiny new dog dish hub caps (oem) and just picked up a set of brand new white walls.  Going for the stock grandpa look.

Love it.  I agree that the mirrors and your tires compliment each other.  Very sharp looking

Is there a name for that green? Matching white looks great.

There is no name to this green that i know of. However, factory green for this model is seamist green, i have the code for it.

Question:  i know some of these models had white bumpers. mine could have been as the one thats on there is a replacement.  How would white look???  But after that, no more white!   

And thanks for all comments!

White would look good, the chrome actually looks out of place with the wheels and mirrors.

My father in law had a 3/4 ton green truck with white mirrors, white rims and white bumper. It looked pretty good with a white bumper. He also had a white pinstripe following the body line also. It looked pretty good.
