Low key. I would make them white, it'd be 1 off, and match the truck. I think it'd be sweet if you did that. But it's your call

I was thinking white at first but you'll always see all the brake dust over them

unless you go with black you are going to see brake dust, and to keep them looking good you have to clean them

It's really easy just take the wheels off and start painting them. I was scared of doing them at first, but its super easy. I did 5 coats on mine and they came out pretty good.
I picked up 3 cans at Lowes..

Yeah its pretty simple to do, its easier than painting with spray cans. its hard to make this stuff run. 5 coats is usually a good number, thats how many I got on my rims and what not. start off with light coats and work your way up in thickness.
