    I would go with chrome in a 22" especially if your truck is black. IF i had to choose between those it would be the second one because if its all black you can hardly see the wheel from far away.

    When these polls come up i always choose the black wheels. I don't like the way chrome rims look on tacomas.

    Ive been looking at the Mickey Thompsons for a while as my wheel upgrade option. they are completly black but do have a glossy finish.
    not to many people have them.
    $111.59 per wheel seems like a good price.
    I vote Mickey
