New molten orange (aka go mango) 75 coming / powder coat trim rings black or base coat clear coat or

Robert fletcher · Feb 13, 2021

My 75a is in texas on its way. I would like you guys input. I can have the trim ring powder coated gloss black for like 150$ or step it up a notch and have them base coat clear coated the same color as the truck for 250$ pros and cons? What would look the best? Thanks!

The truck

Personally I'd go black for the ring. But that's me.

It will be interesting to see pics of the truck once you get it!

Color match. Everyone has black wheels

I think black looks awesome. I can’t believe it’s the same rim.

HOWEVER

Robert you know you have to go orange. You have the loudest colour available. You need those rims to carry the look. Will look amazing.

After seeing how good black looks I know it’s hard, but orange is just going to be on another level and truly unique. Just my opinion

Your a winner with either choice.

I would most definitely do them the same color as my truck.

Agree with the majority, that color screams color match.

BigJoe1094 · Feb 13, 2021

Agreed! Has to be color matched!

I know it looks like a 3rd grader colored the rims, but maybe this will get someone else's creative juices flowing.

Color matched and 37s no doubt after the example above lol

Pudge · Feb 13, 2021

Yep, go orange, and strip off the flat black wrap on the center posts between the two windows.

Gloss black, but I am a bit biased...lol ...I think black and have the 16 bolts color match orange would look sharp..gawd thats a great a great color...cant wait to see pics!

Sorry guys to disagree.... but I'd match the wheel color. The black lower break on the body with the black wheels looks "normal" to me. Color matching the ring with the main body looks "tacky". Then again, I'm an older traditionalist type...

thkbaron · Feb 14, 2021

It's the shape of the ring that sucks. Another forum member just did his black and made the wheels look a lot better. I think for how expensive this truck is, they could have had a nicer looking bead lock on there. Poor R and D in my opinion.

Well, I am guessing you think a bright orange truck is tacky too lol.

So far, I think orange is winning. Hopefully if a guy base coat clear coats it orange it will hold up. It's true some people are conservative. I remember the dodge truck that started my craziness...it was a (waldoch conversion) solar yellow 2001 ram...it's been alot of money not wisely spent since.. haha

Ram engineers will definitely go with the 3rd grader rendering for those rims. I hope you expect that suggestion check, soon!

I had a 2000 ram 1500 that was solar yet (hence my user name lol). First and only brand new vehicle that I specially ordered. Had it over 11 years...sure miss the ol girl.
