SEMA NCT Truck (Help Please)

OK so my Dually will be in Cognito Motorsports booth this year for SEMA and I am having a hard time deciding how I want to finish it off. Here are my options/idea's:

1- Leave it the way it is.
2- Add some new *BLACK* wheels
3- Add some new *CHROME* wheels
4- Install a Cognito 4" NTB drop kit and 35's on *BLACK* Wheels
5- Install a Cognito 4" NTB drop kit and 35's on *CHROME* Wheels

If we stick with a chrome wheel then the rest of the truck will have chrome on it. If we end up running BLACK wheels then I am going to change out the chrome to black parts on the body.

I want your thoughts and or idea's !!!


My truck now:



Here are the black wheels i am thinking of:

How would you do the bumper black if you add black wheels. Aftermarket, or paint or powder coat.

Well here's my opinion....I think the front end of that body style needs to be improved on....so if it was me...I would do that black wheels, black out the chrome on the front, and buy a Road Armor front end for it....they look Bad-A...and will improve it A LOT.
