    I love my black rims, it makes the truck look more beefier, and they dont show brake dust like chrome wheels. :D

    It depends what kind of look your going for, mine has the black 18" rims with a chrome lip so i am a fan of the black but chrome looks sexy as well

    I vote black on a tan truck. My truck isn't tan, but gold is close enough to get an idea....also, my wheels were not chrome to start but were aluminum. I painted them black. Like the look MUCH better.

    Before.....

    my thoughts exactly, youre not building a truck for everyone else youre building it for you. and if youre not, you should find a new forum hahaha we all come here to share our opinions and builds, maybe gather a little knowlege along the way. anyways ive always prefered black wheels, i got 100 serries american eagle satin black wheels on mine and i love the way they look. sorry if i come off wrong but building youre own rig to youre taste is incomperable to all these lifted impallas i see driving around rattling their license plates off to some lil wayne, just trying to fit into their crowd. soo its up to you black or chrome haha
