    looks good!

    If you ask me, black wheels are just a fad. In a few years everyone will be saying stuff like "Get rid of the black wheels, they look so 2008."

    i have never been a fan of chrome, some say black is played out but to me chrome is played out even more, but with a black truck like yours black or chrome ether way they still look good.

    honestly man, I'm not a fan of black on black. The wheels should offset the color of the vehicle in some way. You seem to be happy with your decision so good for you:)

    Agree 100%! Unless you are going for a totally blacked out look then I think black wheels don't look right on a black truck.

    So, to answer the question, I think the chrome wheels looks way better on this truck.

    LOL I appreciate everyones feed back. To me the truck looks like a brand new truck with the different wheels. I dunno whats next I was thinking pro comp 6inch however I am not sure now with the new wheels it even looks taller when I stand back and look at it.

    Chrome makes optical illusions apparently

    Oh and they added 50hp to the engine :)
