Pics of new rims, now what?

[tex512 10+ year member]

Just got the new rims on the truck. Both rims and truck are pretty dirty but i wanted to know what you guys think i should do next. I either wanted to get the leveling kit for the backend which would be about a 2 to 2.5 inch drop in the back, or get a black billet grille for the front. Both are around the same price. I also wanted to shave the F150 tags on the sides and back and they seem to be helt on by an foam like adhesive and was wondering if any of you knew a good way to get them off. Any oppionions are welcome, I'm just trying to get a clean look nohting too flashy which is why I kept the rims a reasonable size.

I would say go with the grill next and taking emblems off is pretty easy. I also think you should paint your bumpers to match the car. and i also agree that you should get bigger rims!!

Yeah trying to find the easiest way to do it and I dont mind the bumpers. More original that way.

I dont want to drop 2 to 3 grand on rims and tires when the truck is new with less than 2000 miles on the tires so I might as well use the same tires and just get rims to fit them. Again I'm just looking for somthing clean and not like everyone else. Maybe bigger rims in the future when new tires are needed.

24's go for around 1500-2000 on the street nowadays (just my 2 cents) but truck looks good anyway. its all about personal prefrence...........get some chrome door pillars! its cheap and makes a truck look 1000x better.

I think you made a good choice with the rims. 24s would be butt ugly. Your is cleaner and more original. I would go with the grill next, as well as taking the emblems off. Like you said, it would look much cleaner.

Tough crowd here.

Do the grille. I'm not sure about black though. I'm not a big fan of chrome, but it might do the trick here.

Then again, about painting the bumpers.. You could get the grille painted also.
