    Cement is hard to try to do anything besides black with. I know the brushed gold and copper scs wheels look pretty damn good on it.

    If you do decide to go with a different color...check out the wheelwell.com coupon code...theres a thread on the deals and coupons forum. I was going to wait but the deal was too good to pass on.

    Yet again this forum causes me to spend more money than i planned...

    So sick of black wheels, I'd go with the below. Typically when you second guess yourself it ends up being a mistake.

    Dude looks good to me. The black bead lock and tire contrast will make the titanium pop! Just put the white letters on the inside. I'm happy you're not putting chrome wheels on that bad boy.

    As a female, I personally like them because of the contrast. They're pretty unique, and I haven't seen any quite like it out in San Diego.

    I like the Titanium as well, black is overdone, and without any contrast to the tire the rim design gets lost.

    It is refreshing to hear so many people who have come to their senses and denounce the black wheel trend. Black wheel idea started with police cars back in the day, because it was cheap. Then people from the ghetto realized when they scratched up their bling wheels that painting them black hid the imperfections. And then a bunch of followers who can't think for themselves joined in and a trend was born. Black wheels show no details so they might as well all be the same exact wheel- because they all look the same. And the wheel manufacturers love it because it doesn't require them as much prep work or attention to detail as say a chrome or machined aluminum wheel does. Which makes it way cheaper to build, and then they charge twice as much, because someone decided to be a follower and made a trend out of it.

    Another thing that needs to go away- simulated beadlocks. Dumbest thing ever, next to black wheels.

    Rant done.

    OP, the wheels look fine. You're overthinking it. The real people of the world will admire them if for no other reason other than they are not black.

    I like it. For me, however, if I don't like something to begin with and I need other people to tell me it's ok then Im just lying to myself. Change it

    Keep em! Black wheels are a fad that needs to die. You cant hardly see the design of the wheel unless youre right next to it. Just turns your rig into a hovercraft.

    Not so fast.

    In the 70s, white spoke steel wheels were the rage in the off road community. Then about the mid 70s Dodge offered black spoke steel wheels and other colors as factory equipment on some of their Dodge Power Wagon Macho 4x4 packages.

    After Dodge rolled those out, black wheels have always been available to the off road crowd.

    The black wheel ghetto theory is nothing more than an urban myth conjured up by some armchair teenager sitting in his gaming chair while taking a break from grand theft auto.

    The latest trend in the auto industry is black plastic trim and black bumpers, so black wheels are in vogue while chrome is out.

    Those rims change grey scale in light look at the photo the light hitting it matches your truck. The rest in the shadow doesn't. I'd play it the way you got it.
