m396 #00-011 Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 Hey Lee I was so inspired ... Im thinking of doing the wheels black also just not to sure yet. Hey Tim, I applaud your dare to be different approach! Too many things in life are "cookie cutter" bland. An idea for you to consider with the wheels would be to powdercoat them black, but polish the outer bead (about a quarter inch wide). That might give a nice subtle contrast. Have fun with your ride! Sounds like a PhotoChop is in order. I would also like to see the black rims on the Black SS. I am an advicate of darker rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted August 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Here's a quickie. I did not have a lot of time this morning so I used the image I did of Tim's truck and quickly "fixed" the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawk Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Nice job Lee, that is a really cool picture you threw together there. I am not sure what to think of the black wheels. I do think the Black Stock wheels on a Black SS do look much better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatrack Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 That could work but I'm not sure I would want that much of a stealth look. Cool work Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted August 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 but I'm not sure I would want that much of a stealth look. I am not sure what to think of the black wheels. Yeah, I agree with both you guys. Black wheels can look really cool on a black vehicle but it has to be the right vehicle. Porsche 911's came out with an all black alloy wheel back in '78. It looked fantastic. Black on black is great but I'm a little concerned about something as big as a pick-up truck. That is a LOT of black. It might be too overwhelming.

TimB Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Thanks Lee now I really have something to think about. I think i will do it over the winter. Powder Coat of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N2TRUX Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Lee, do you have a web site? I would like to see more pics of your truck. I am getting ready to sell my 02 GMC 1500 HD, and I can't decide what I want. I like the looks of the SS, but wish it had more HP and rear leg room like my 02 Harley F-150.

BenKey Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Don't think I like the black too much. They would have to be at least as high gloss as the finish on the truck, in order to look any good, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted August 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 N2 and Steve, Sorry, no web site, guys. I just put the two links down below that are on this forum. That's all I have. N2, All I can say about your "decision" to get an SS is that it is the best truck on the market at the moment. I drove them all before getting mine. There is just too much to like about this vehicle. Good luck with your decision. Here and Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
