My 24's have actually chipped in a few small areas, so i am going to have them re-powder coated. I am going to go gloss black as they are now. I am not going to do the white pinstripe around the wheel. My question is what to do with the white accent pieces in the wheels. Should i leave them white or go black, and do a totally blacked out wheel? Also, maybe any suggestions on a color for the calipers.

Thanks

Well, I'm one of the few who's not keen on blacked out rims on a white truck.
To me, combined with the black tire and black wheel well, they lose all definition and all you see is general blackness. :)

I agree with everyone. I would do the white pin stripe on the outer edge of the rim. I was thinking about doing mine as well with a red pin strip to match my red calipers

I agree, leave the white pinstripe.. You shouldnt do one on yours though.. Your truck looks clean as is:)

I am going to disagree to a degree with everyone. I would consider maybe a black face with a white lip, white face with a black lip. Not be a dick but for some reason I am just not feeling the way they look right now. Rest of the truck looks good though :)

No Offense taken. I have been in a constant debate with these wheels since i bought the tahoe with them. Thats why i was thinking just going all black. If i can't get it right i'll probably look for some new wheels. I have a set of 24's off my escalade that might work, but haven't got around to trying them yet.
