    This is an easy choice.....
    Ask yourself, "Am I gonna keep my chrome headlights, chrome grill and chrome bumper?" if so go with chrome wheels.
    Now ask yourself, "Am i going to black out headlights, grill & bumper?" if so go with black wheels. Just my two cents.

    I went with chrome and i couldn't be happier!!

    Get black if its a real "mans" truck. Chrome if its a city "street truck. Hope this helps. BTW brushed aluminum or factory style finish is prob the best looking.

    I would go black if you have to deal with any type of harsh weather or off-roading of any kind. My chrome rims are 6 years old and they are starting to look like crap because my father drove didn't take proper care of them when I left my truck at home in storage. (btw, never trust anyone with ur truck) I honestly think Black is the easier way to go...

    I gotta say on yours I like chrome. If you're gonna black it out, then black, but otherwise chrome is the way to go.

    I like black but chrome looks classy too! The black ones have both black and polished look so its going to depend on whether you want shiny chrome or a polished look with black.
