Will do! Thanks again for the info and the nudge to call Dustin. The pics at the front page really helped solidify the rim color and the center cap selection.

I went with the graphite gunmetal spec B (sim BL) with the alloy center cap with black lettering. I think it will look nicely with my 2010 SR5 giving it a sweet classic look.

I have to agree--it does have a great look. Dustin suggested the the silver center caps and he was spot on.
Any tips about cleaning supplies? Anything too harsh to use? Should I be concerned with the winter salt rash that comes from living in the NE? I just couldn't wait to get them on.
Also should I be worried at all about the water sitting in the lip. This was today:

Give them a good wash with a dedicated wheel brush, then apply any wax or sealant of your choice. Fancy brands also have their own line of wheel wax.
As to water sitting on the lip, it will leave water marks if it sits too long, just like on paint. Also note brake dust is corrosive. It'll pool up with the sitting water.

The nice thing about the wheels you got is that the Graphite Metallic is easier to keep clean according to Dustin than his other wheels that have a satin or matte finish.
You'll have to work a little harder to keep yours clean if you're running them in the winter. Lots of nooks and crannies for salt, brake dust, and road grime.
I run mine in the winter and am buying a second set as well. probably go through the auto car wash about every week or every other week. I might wipe mine down about once a month.
I waxed them once when I first got them.

Can't go wrong with soap and water. Soft rag. Nothing abrasive. Make sure the wheels are not dirty/grimy/sandy/muddy etc or you'll scratch them
Whatever wax you use on the truck would be fine for the wheels too.

After seeing your rig i was sold on getting the Overlanders as well. So thanks!
Here is mine
Dustin was awesome to work with. He also recommended the Gunmental on the silver and couldn't be happier!

The Gunmetal looks sweet with the silver!

What's the other wheel you're thinking about?

SCS Ray10's in gunmetal. I think both wheels have classic styling with a touch of custom flare. I haven't dealt with either company, but both appear to exhibit excellent customer service with great products.
