Just wait until you have about 10k miles on them.

Then what happens? They quiet down??

[ROUSHDEMON]

I had them on my excursion.... great offroad tire but man....... I couldn't even call my Grandma for to wish her Happy Birthday cuz she was like..... "WHAAATTT???" and I was like "HUHHHHH?" and yeah.... didn't work out.
nice rig tho, you need to black out your side markers.:clapping:

Thats okay! Im liking the loudness. I don't know how to black out markers without screwing them up. They are the only things that havent been blacked out yet

Tape around them. and get vht nightshade. sand down with around 800 grit paper then just put as many coats on until you like the darkness. for me id say no more than 2 or 3 coats. stuff works great!

What did you use to paint your gas cap? and imo i would swap your black nerf bars for the le steps and rocker but thats just my opinion. other than that Rig looks great my friend! :perfect10s:

I aggree.. the first thing taht stood out for me in the first pic was the bright yellow marker. the VHT works great and you can get by without sanding too. If you want them shiny do a few clear coats at the end... I personally do 3-5 light VHT coats but I think they do recommend 2-3 as you start losing some light after 3...

by the way, other than that, the truck looks great!!

How is the powder coating on the roof rails holding up? I use snowboard racks during the winter months and am worried that they would scratch up the paint if I went black.

so far so good.. Not too scratched up at all. When i put my boards on top, i keep them in the bag...

[pdxrealtor]

They also have side marker light covers... I just had mine powder coated black. They were OEM.

Here is a picture of them after I had them powder coated- They come in two pieces... I'm trying to decide whether to use both pieces or just the back trim piece... but in your case it's a clear decision.

What a beaut. I'm not usually a fan of the blacked out look, but that looks real nice!

[blockrockin]

looks awesome ! great job :beerchug:

[StockStar]

honestly..... I've heard that they become quiet. Spoke to a guy locally here and those were his words. Your ride looks damn good

Thanks! Ive gotten used to the sound. But, from what people have said on the phone, is that "what, are you in a small airplane right now?" Ha ha..

Well, I sold my other wheels and tires to go with the black chrome. To me, I liked them at the shop...... now, I think I just lost the "murderous look" I had when I had my black rims on? Whats your guys opinion?
Do I go back to black rims again?

[Easy Ed]

Well, I got to kinda agree with ya, the black looked better, but the black chrome don't look bad either.

I got a 1999 HD Night Train and it is suppose to be black and sinister looking but a little chrome helps the looks IMO so now it is about 60/40.

Keep'em for a while and see if they grow on ya ???

Just my opinion :D

[splne1]

I like my Matte Rockstars but those look pretty good too!!!

I tried to see if it would grow on me for the past 2 weeks, and I dont think its going to happen..
Thinking of going with XD Revolvers 20x10 all in black

[pdxrealtor]

Love my XDs... www. RIMZONE. COM .....

I'm not affiliated in any way, found them on Ebay....

I got 4 xd revolvers balanced on brand new TOYO Open Country M/Ts, ready to mount with all hardware for just over 1800! Local tire shops wanted just under that for the tires alone! ...

Anyways.. good luck....

I sold my wheels to a guy in NY and he loves them. I told him to post his truck with the wheels I had. I do like the look of the XD's.
any problems with them at all? Peeling.....

Not as of yet, but mine are brand new. If you do some searching, both here and on the internet in general, you'll see a lot of XD wheels on a lot of different trucks.

They seem to be good quality but I'm no wheel expert...

[ROUSHDEMON]

go back to black dude;)

[twenty2]

go back to black dude;)

Trust me! I am... Ive had to learn the hard way... I may just back to the rims I sold, cause I like the deep dish. And, the XD's I was looking at, arent deep dish

Eagle series 114.. 20x10's -24 offset... no gloss, just a matte black finish. I did paint the center caps because they were chrome..
