It's funny, I have this same question on another GM site and everyone is really liking black wheels now a days. I have loved black wheels once you started seeing them on the cast and forged wheels. I even sent out a brand new set of Weld 20x12 Dunes out of the box to the powder coater because I wanted a wheel no one else had in black.

the 6.4L stock i dont like.... but once you get all the DPF crap off of it and put a diff tune in it its actually a pretty good motor.... but if i had to choose a 7.3L or the 6.4L i would still choose the 7.3L..

so yah man lift that truck and put some 38's under it lol... it would look sick

Personally I like how it is now. If anything i would do some chrome wheels, but would not raise it any higher.
