^That's legit.

I've only washed my truck twice since I've owned it.

Once when I first got it. And once after RC in April, because some Jackass gas station attendant thought it would awesome to demonstrate how well the cleaning product they were promoting worked.

The guy made a nice clean spot on my door about the size of a dinner plate right in the middle of all my mud. Made the truck look retarded.

(On the bright side, the cleaning product did work really well. )

then IMHO, you need flat wheels to contrast.... kinda like chrome used to be... a contrast/accent.... not a color...

I think your right about the contrast. Now my other question would be are there different types of flat? Like satin or other variances?

I agree with going with the flat black.

Satin would be my choice, but I really don't know anything about powder coating options and if satin is one of them.

I try to go through a car wash fairly regularly in the winter, one of those kinds that power wash the under carriage. Road salt.
