    What do you guys prefer? I think a truck looks cleaner with chrome, but looks more aggressive with black.

    +1 for black rims. I defiantly like how much easier cleaning matte black rims are vs chrome.

    I think it all depends on the rig and personal preference.

    pretty much this


    I've grown to not like straight black wheels unless you put tire shine on your tires every week...i think it looks silly to have greyish brown tires with shiny black wheels

    I personally like my stock wheels (alloy i think?). Im looking into getting some FJ Anthracite wheels soon. I guess they'd fall in the "Grey" area? :taco:

    I like my tires dirty and my truck/wheels clean.
