Wheels look great, but the biggest improvement is that the nerfs are gone

I have a slate blue truck too. Now I know what mine would look like with black wheels.

Here is a close up with the center caps finished. I used Duplicolor universal flat black. I just cleaned them really good, and did a light sanding to scuff up the surface.

Looks good. I like the black roof bars that you had in the 'before' pic, any reason you pulled them off?
