Chrome or black wheels?

Slick8810 · 05-01-2009, 06:41 PM

I am getting new wheels and was wondering which color choice you guys think would look best with my tan truck. im going with moto metal 955 17x9 and am wondering if chrome or black wheels would look best. im thinking chrome but wanted your opinions. Thanks

TengoTaco · 05-01-2009, 06:48 PM

I agree with you. Chrome.

Not a huge fan of blackout.

devilsalmostfree · 05-01-2009, 06:50 PM

i like black wheels! i would love to get another set of wheels & either paint them black, or powder coat them!

I liked the brused Aluminum look. Not a fan of chrome or solid black.

A few years back chrome was in style. Now it's black. I think a good looking wheel looks good in eighter chrome or black. And they always go with whatever color truck you have. I had solid black FJs. Swaped them last week for silver/black 957s.

I just ordered the 955's in black along with the toytec ultimate kit... The 955's are not really black because most of the finish is machined. It is a good combination of both but to each is own. On some cars/trucks I like black wheels, but cannot stand stock wheels painted black, chrome to me is ghetto, but like I said to each is own.

Tacoma02TRD · 05-02-2009, 07:19 PM

I say black, but the truck is yours, so pick what you want.

Hello, Im a new member, waahooo!!
Anyways guys, Im looking to lift my truck just to get a more aggressive appearence and keep my tire size or maybe a bit bigger than my stock 265's. Im thinking the 2.5 ToyTec lift, any suggestion?

SRFIVE · 05-05-2009, 06:51 AM

Black will look great with tan!

OU812 · 05-06-2009, 12:23 PM

Black

jdmcq · 05-06-2009, 12:35 PM

Not all black, but mostly.

gouge44 · 05-06-2009, 02:58 PM

Black is 10000000XXXX easier to maintain, if u let chrome get away from you they look like shit and get tarnished and shity

deadazleep · 05-14-2009, 01:41 PM

i'ld go black, chrome just doesnt pop like black would on a tan truck.

What did you use on your fender flares...............they look great!

ChrisYoTaCoMa · 06-11-2009, 07:18 PM

BLACK!!!! I really do not like chrome at all anywhere anytime. But it is all in what you like most. I like the wheels with the aluminum rim and black center, that is what I am going to get for mine.
