- When it comes to deciding exactly what you want
to do with your new truck, the options can seem
kind of daunting.
With all the different lift kits, and millions
of wheel and tire packages, choosing the style that
you want for your truck can seem nearly impossible.
I'm Fuller from Custom Offsets, and today we're going
to break down some of the most popular truck build
themes that we see.
(heavy beat music)
So, if you're one of those faithful subscribers,
don't click off just yet because this isn't
the same video we just made awhile back
about the four types of truck builds.
If you haven't seen that one, go check it out.
But for this one, we're covering all the trendy options
to make your vehicle best in show.
To kick things off, we're going to start with what I
call the Pop of Color style.
Literally, you can take just about any truck
out there, paint to match just about everything on it,
throw on some dark tint, pick up some chrome
or polished wheels, choose any lift you want,
and add just one bright accent color.
I've seen this done on everything from Rangers
to Super Duties, and it always looks good,
but there is one super important part.
To pull it off, you want to go
with the widest wheels you can.
Even if it means sacrificing a little bit
of turning radius, or having to trim your truck
When you keep it low and wide it really set off the look
and it just takes it to the next level,
the show truck look that you're going for.
One of my favorite builds in the gallery is actually
this silver 2015 F-250 that's got some of the suspension
finished in this crazy bright green chrome.
I think the reason I enjoy it so much is
because it just really stands out.
Not only if you're just going through the gallery,
but in person too it just catches your eye.
And typically, a silver truck isn't going to do that.
It's just not an exciting color.
Now, he went with Fuel Forged wheels, and a lot
of guys do the forged route, American Force,
Specialty Forged, or any of those guys.
But if you don't want to spend all the money on wheels,
you can still pull this look off with cast wheels, too,
like the tS 544 in chrome is a great example,
or just about any Hostile wheel will achieve the same thing.
Even some of the smaller brands, like Tuff, with the T2A.
That will looks really similar to some
of the forged ones, but doesn't cost nearly as much.
Another one I really like is this '15 F-150 Platinum
that followed same the recipe.
Whiteout everything, just nice, wide, polished wheels,
and then just a little bit of red on the lift,
some bumper accent pieces, and then the tailgate.
It works on older trucks, too.
I was checking out some photos of an '05 GMC 1500
that's got the bumpers and grille
and everything painted to match.
Big, wide, RBP forged wheels, and then just a little bit
of teal to give it some color, and you're good to go.
Next, of course, we had to mention the Murdered Out look.
This has been around forever, and it's not
going anywhere anytime soon.
As much as people talk (bleep) about,
"Oh look, another blacked out Silverado."
It really is a simple style that takes the guesswork
out of planning what to do with new parts.
Even a lot of the OE manufacturers are offering blackout
packages right from the factory.
So Chevy has the Midnight Edition trucks that
come with black wheels, and black bumpers,
black grills, and you can get blacked out emblems.
And it's good to go right off the bat.
99% of lift kits come black from the factory,
too, so you don't have to worry about painting that.
And I can't say I've ever seen a tire that wasn't black,
so, that makes that part pretty easy.
And when it comes to wheels, it's actually a bit
harder than you might imagine to find an
all black wheel, since so many companies
are adding rivets, or milling.
We've actually made a video on all
the top five all black wheels.
So, if you're going to go for a true blackout theme,
you got to go all black.
That way, when you hastag all black everything
on Instagram, you won't have the one guy that's like,
"Yeah, except for the milling on the wheels
"and the lug nuts and your hitch pin."
Because those people exist and they will find you.
- Boy, I'm really liking the color scheme of this wall.
- On the opposite end, you've got the whiteout,
which I know I don't need to explain,
but just like we did with CO2, you can either wrap
or paint everything on the truck white.
Now, keep in mind, if you love this look,
you're going to want to be prepared
to put some hours into detailing.
White trucks seem to get dirty really fast.
And if you take it as far as we did,
you'll see that the lift, the brake calipers,
and everything else underneath the truck can
quickly collect noticeable grim.
But, if you want to talk about a clean build,
I think whiteout is probably the definition of it.
You've got to slap some dark tent on it
for that contrast, and then again it's
all about big, shiny wheels, polished or chrome,
and in the biggest size you can fit.
We went with 26x14 Arkon Lincolns on CO2,
which is our 2015 2500 HD.
And all the chrome and all the whiteout in the sun,
it just reflects like crazy.
It's basically the truck equivalent
to the big diamond on someone's finger
four tables over that your girlfriend goes crazy over.
Lastly, we've got the guys that aren't afraid to go bold.
When it comes to running colored wheels,
2019 has been the year that we've seen more
of this than ever before.
In comparison to the price of wheels themselves,
you can usually find a local powder coater
to do your wheels for cheap, and almost guarantee
that literally no one else, anywhere in the world
has the same finish.
If you don't want to go through the hassle,
or wait for powder coating to be done,
there are becoming more and more companies out there
that are actually offering these custom looking
colors straight from factory.
You can get the color wheels right from their stock.
Arkon has the red Crown Series that's been popular.
XD has the new red XD 844 Pike, Axe has some red
compression forged wheels, and there's even some
blue options out there from Fuel and American Off-Road.
The stock options aren't nearly as vast as when
you choose to do powder coating,
but they're still out there.
If you want orange or purple or lime green,
that's something your local powder coater
can definitely get done for you.
I think some of this has kind of come from the car scene,
as those guys with their slanty wheels
(cough)
Fitment Industries.
Those are all the builds we've got for you guys.
Let us know down below if we missed any
or what builds you guys are running.
As always, if you need any wheels, tires,
or suspension for these builds, or your own
crazy build idea, you can hit up customoffsets.com.
We're stoked to keep supplying these parts
to you guys as long as the builds keep coming.
We love to see them.
Peace.
