Great looking truck! Maybe go with wheels that match the gunmetal color of the roof, with a pinstripe of the color of the body. Or straight aluminum would match the bed.

I always need to see the wheels on the vehicle to know how they look so I go through lots of web pages looking for a wheel I like, then copy the picture and use a program like paint to resize it until I can paste it into a picture of my truck.

Was thinking black rim with a beadlock aluminum outer rim like bed!

I vote for aluminum rims of your taste with the 35's. Me personally, I don't care for black rims because it's harder for my eyes to see what the rims look like. Black hides 'em. Which is why over weight women like to wear black.

The aluminum rims would help keep the unsprung weight down. Taller tires I would go for, but not wider. Why decrease your gas mileage any more?

I like the black with an aluminum beadlock idea...but I'm partial to black wheels.

I would like to add a line to a bumper sticker I see around here:

Welcome to Wyoming
Consider everyone armed
Then I want to add, Even my dog

Good addition.

I found a pic of your Dog. Looks darn good for his age.
