    Very valid points! But I can say for me and quite a few of us youngsters, chrome has lost is appeal. I don't like chrome for one main reason... there's hardly such thing as chrome anymore! Any "chrome" a car manufacture is going to use is just very reflective silver painted plastic... Which has given chrome a bad name and stigma in my eyes and made me hate it. And because of the plastic chrome bullshit car companies use, I can't stand chrome wheels, especially on a truck I'm going to take off road. :)

    I am over 35, and partial to black. I don't dislike chrome, I think it could look good on certain set-ups.

    I'm 42 and have black wheels now. I do like chrome, they just require more of an effort to keep them looking good. I would have to say that I am more partial to the silver and black like the moto metal 957s or Dick Cepak DC II's.

    I'm 38 and not a fan of chrome.

    I like black, then probably silver or titanium look. Mine are black and polished...will probably go with all black next.

    Your truck looks perfect... That has to be one of the best wheels and tires I've seen. I'm partial to black but it's seems to be what ever one is doing. I've been looking for some polished wheels.

    Check my build thread...too much to list.
    I like whatever looks good on my truck. Right now it's chrome but in the near future I am switching to SCS wheels and it'll probably be Gun metal Gray. Being that my truck is Silver I think it can go either way though.
