Before and after. Full grille replacement (Limited grille painted body color), mirror caps, custom painted hood badges, and window trim blackout. I love the longhorn interior but could not live with the excessive chrome on the exterior. Still need to paint the wheels (bronze)IMG_25077.JPGIMG_2785.JPG

Ditch the ghetto wheels and you’ll HAVE IT PERFECT!

My Limited came with all black wheels, wife hated them. She told the salesman we would not buy the truck with the black wheels, he called the manager out and she pointed to a white Ram truck and said "i want those wheels on it". They said they could not swap them, she said then keep the truck. They called the dealer manager out, they talked for a bit, then he called the lot boy and had them swap the wheels.

I found out later they were a $3500 option on that white Ram truck.

I'm not a huge fan of black wheels but I don't really like the brite wheels either. I painted the wheels on my last truck brass monkey. Will probably do something similar with these...or go with a smaller wheel than these 22s

To each his own personal taste. I liked the truck better before the modifications.
Nice wheels, painting them would be a mistake , in my opinion.
I would never buy a Ram with a black plastic grill.

Looks Great! I'm not a big chrome fan either. Make me want to either take off the grille & mlgds and paint them or buy new already painted.

I painted the grille bars on my 2016 Sport and liked the look.

What? No Flames???? Whats up with that? HaHa looks much better. Wheels are fine but the tires could be upgraded if you want to spend more $$$.

Agreed...the stock Pirellis are terrible in the rain and snow

l like it better without the chrome. If you are going to paint the wheels brass monkey I would suggest painting the badges or just order new ones in brass monkey. Would keep it coordinated.

I like both versions. I have similar Longhorn, same color, lots of chrome. I kinda like chrome.

I have same wheels. I think they are great. I dislike black wheels, and don't understand how anyone would want them. But hey, whatever floats your boat, haha.....
