Look up aluminum wheel polishing on Youtube, you can sand it down with fine sandpaper and polish out real nice.

Try alumibright. Mix it with 1/4 parts water and put it in spray bottle or something. Let it sit for no longer than 1 minute and rinse off well with a hose. Then see how it worked, repeat till the top layer of aluminum is evenly eaten away.

Edit: this will most likely require them being off the truck unless you are super careful not to get acid on anything but the aluminum.

UPDATE
Got rid of that ***** roll pan and tail light covers.. Makes a huge difference! But, the bumper as of now is just temporary, I couldn't stand that roll pan. But untill I re-gain some cash, I plan on a weld-in roll pan and some LED lights. This is just temporary, lights were a 30 dollar set on Ebay and the bumper was from a cousin, free. So I thought it was a great deal.

What ideas do you guys have for this truck? Especially in the wheels and tires area, and lowering area. Yes, no? I can't decide what to do.

The bumper and lights look 100% better. Amd I personally don't like the wheels. Id take them off and store them and wait til their value goes up. I'd lower it simply because I want a lowered truck. But you have to factor in a lot of things when lowering. Like road conditions, how low you want to go, if you have the money for wheels and tires after you lower it.

Honestly I love the height and wheels, it just looks 90's cool haha. I know most would lower it but that stance is sweet

i have thought about that too. But I cant decide if I like my wheels. And I cant find a pair that really just speaks to me either. I wouldn't mind a pair of black rally wheels, but my tires are for 10 inch wide wheels...

I would just lower the back to match the front. That would give it a nice lowered stance without doing a crazy amount of work... and you wouldn't need to buy new wheels and tires. I think that set of rallies we talked about would look awesome on there!

Smoothie front bumper looks great Conner. You should de-trim the rear bumper to match! I like the wheels personally, They are different and like someone else said, make it look like its from the 80/90s
