See below.... there won't be any "mag" styled wheels on this project.

You gonna two tone the paint, like the rendering, but use the dark base, with the tanish fenders?

See below for wheel answer.
NO --- I don't like the two tone.... It will be one color. And mostly likely be painted in a single stage Urethane.... Not base/clear. I plan to wash this with a mitt and a bucket of soap.... I don't want to have to care about swirls etc in the paint.

I like the one-off "mag" wheels with the knock-offs. Pinkee's has done these on a couple different builds and they all look great.

The answer to all of the above is NO...... you're all confusing one rendering with another. The full body rendering showed a proposed wheel design - which I nix'd.... because the truck is being built as a daily driver. Daily drivers need frequent washing... as they aren't show cars that are packed away in cotton balls... That style "mag" wheel had the proposed DOW 7 PAINT...
The Artillery "styled" billet wheel was an alternative because I objected to the "mag" style wheel (not based on looks - but based on the DD use of the project). However.... There is not one good reason I can come up with for paying for a one off billet wheel and the painting of them etc... when I can buy them all day long off the shelf.
I didn't include all the discussion details between builder / designer / owner. I was just showing "direction".
