    Are those cepek torques? Those were my other choice of black with polished lip. Still not sure about the ar fuels or those. backspacing on 16x8 on ar is 5 and on dc is 4.5. I want the wheel out just barely more than oem and will be running 265/70/16s that I already have.

    Opinion noted.......I wouldn't suggest buying any then. I went with mix because my SR5 has mix of chrome and black trim. Black, chrome or mix don't look the best for every truck so do whatever you want. All 3 possibilities look good depending on what else is going on with the truck so none of them is the end all choice IMO.

    3" Toytec spacers, Bilstein 5100s in the back with add a leaf and overloads removed.
    I'm getting Chrome for my truck. Black looks good if it's done right. Just depends on the rim and truck.

    Personaly im not a big fan of chrome. I hate when it scratchs and you can see it. At least with paint you can touch it up. Just my opinion though
