    Thanks, its Duplicolor metal cast yellow..its more yellow in person but not like lemon yellow lol. I think in the picture it comes off a tad amberish. Couple notes though..the paint is hazy until completely dry than it becomes completely translucent...so light coats are key. No matter how thick u lay it on it will look hazy and dull until dry..I was forewarned from a tutorial on a vw forum. Also when u get the fogs off the car...u don't have to dissassemble them..use aluminum foil. Slide along side and behind the lenses, and then fold over the plastic shroud. Much quicker than taping.

    It looks good in the picture imo but in person everything ties in better..again imo lol. I think it will be nicer if I can get my wheels done in a solid color..polish lips are too delicate for me lol...so I say powedercoat it all one color or get different solid color wheels all together when the $ presents itself.

    that only happens when you get cheap wheels or never wash them. ive had used chrome wheels that worked great. never curb rashed them even though i hit the curb a few times. thats when you know you got great wheels. lol

    Find yourself a good used set of non chrome OEM 17"s, cheaper on tires, and ride even cushier!
    To be quite honest, I have never had this happen to me. My HOE is on 275/55/20 and the ride is plenty cushioned.

    Why not get smaller wheels and all terrain tires? They fit the bulkier Rams better.

    24's don't look too small to me, 24" is as big as I'd go, but I'm not a truck guy by any means, go for what you know bro! Looking good.

    24's look good enough and you still have good meat on the tires, 26's will not have as much tire to cushion the ride and help prevent bending the rim on potholes...

    ^ This, If I were to upgrade it me a minimum of 23 and max of 24.

    23's have always been the standard for 22's IMO.

    my mom found this out the hard way, she has 26" Giovannas on her h3, she hit a curb and it bent the rim a little. But she had an extra rim on the trunk, so me and my dad just replaced it with that one.
