Default Changing Wheel Color

Hey Guys,

Could somebody change the color of my wheels to a dark gray? I don't have a sample of the color I have in mind, but it is a dark argent color. Keep the center cap in chrome. Wish I had a side shot of the truckster, but this is all I have right now. No need removing the roof racks - they came off within 24 hours of bringing the truck home!

TIA!

Wow! Thanks for the quick chop. That's a little too black for what I'm considering, but actually is one of the choices I was thinking about (makes it look utilitarian). Here is a pic of my old 2006 coupe, whose wheels are close to the argent color I have in mind.




Sorry for not having an exact color match to help you along.

Thanks! That one is close enough to give me an idea of how it would look. With only 26K miles on the odo, I cannot see replacing perfectly good tires just to get beefier looking meats on there. So for now I thought a darker shade on the wheels would help set it apart from all of the other SUV's out there. I like the new look. Thanks - I really appreciate it!

Would I be pressing my my luck to ask for a 2" spring chop with the darker gray wheels???

It's hard to judge 2". Here is what I came up with. If you want it lower let me know.
