    Im having a bit of trouble deciding on if i wanna get black rims and black nerf bars or chrome??

    See i already invested on the halo projector headlights and they are dark tint.

    Saving up for a 6" pro comp suspension lift with 33 muds

    The only trouble im having is deciding whether to go with the black or the chrome...my car is bright red access cab

    so help me out....in the end ill make up my own mind but i would like to hear what other peoples opinions are:D

    I had the same dilemna as you did and I finally ended up going with the black westin nerfs because I didn't want it looking too "chromy". You can find a great deal on the old frame mount model now that the new ones mount to the body. I think they'd look good with whatever wheel you choose.

    Nothing at the moment
    Does your truck have chrome on it already? I'm waiting to get rid of my chrome bumper and grill before I start putting black accessories on mine.
