    I will stick with my boring stock Aluminum wheels and just rinse when done playing in the sand,mud or snow.......The "Manual" labor gets saved for the "Mack Office"....those painted wheels get "paid" to play in the mud ;)

    I like the black rims. The wife hates them. I have black MT Sidebiters & most guys go nuts about them on my gold 4x4 xcab. The wife & her girlfriends not so crazy about them. They are alot easier 2 take care of than the polished aluminium ones my Jeep had. To me they even look cool when they are a little dirty & they don't show brake dust nowhere near as bad as chrome or polished aluminium !!!!

    Black and chrome are both nice, black looks more badass and hardcore. Chrome looks more pimp and turns heads. I'm lookin at getting some new 22" akuza lacunas chrome obviously.

    Slick if that was my truck I'd go with black rims to complement the black headache rack and toolbox that I would add and lower body panels - all painted in black bed liner. I would add a brush guard or custom front bumper and rear bumper painted with black bedliner, it would all flow with black door handles and tinted windows. I'd also add cowboy hat rack to the inside, thats me. Too me that would be a tough/sweet looking truck. Best advice, go with what you like. Make your statement. Both setups will look good.

    I prefer the black. You know, "Black is Beautiful." I'd love to see the personality profile of the 2 different camps. I never wore a chain around my neck or rings on my fingers - does that mean I'm a black wheel type?

    As the poll indicates, everyone and their mother has black. Be unique and get chrome. Plus chrome looks very cool.

    Just my opinion :D
