    The black look terrible, but i can't say i am a fan of that particular chrome rim either.

    Those chrome rims are a little busy for my liking.

    I'm not usually a fan of black wheels, but I don't really care for those chrome wheels either. If I had to choose I would say stick with the black.

    Chrome would look great and you live in california so there is not all that much upkeep for them. But on the other hand I do love black and white so I say either way your truck is going to look good.
