    I had the same delima. I like the look of chrome, but for my truck, there is no other chrome on it so I thought it wouldnt look right. I personally don't like the look of a truck with all black wheels so I found what I felt is a happy medium. I just ordered a set of Motometal 957's that are both machined and black. Would look good on your truck as well. I should have them on by Thursday.

    Awesome! I considered these too. They'll look great on your rig post pics up once you get them installed.

    you should have the shop? mount a different set on each side and then compare. We all have different tastes, I like chrome, been four wheeling for over 40 years.. getting old i guess but I'm no low rider!!

    I have a chrome bumper and grill so it made more sense to me to remove the door emblems and go with 17" chrome wheels and use 265/65 Dunlop A20's just like factory.

    It took me a while to find 6 spoke wheels that I liked (and that I could afford).
