    Thinking about getting Wheel to Wheel NFab sliders, Which color do you think would look better on my truck? Black or Chrome?

    I basically want them for looks, Not planning on wheelin'. I'm leaning towards black, I feel like I have enough chrome.

    Since you're not planning on wheeling and are just looking for steps, those are for you.

    Why bother? Sliders on a truck that don't off road is like non alcoholic beer.

    I'm thinking he's confusing steps with sliders. OP look into N-Fab, Smittybilt, and Westin just to name a few

    I think black would be better. You have enough chrome already.

    I would def. go black and then get rid of the chrome handles and mirrors.. You got alittle too much bling going on in my opinion. :)

    back when I was 16 and had my "show truck," I always wondered what it would look like with black rims. I had only noticed black rims on race-cars before, which I thought my chevy was. I never did it because every other "nice looking" truck had chrome wheels. I was always getting comments on how nice my chrome was. (I polished it, along with any aluminum, weekly at least)

    well, a few years later, everybody has got black wheels. lowered trucks, off-road trucks, racecars, etc

    moral is, just do what looks good to you. the only person who really looks at your truck is you. you might turn a few heads with a lt kit, but nobody cares what color it is. girls don't care either. I gave more "rides" in my 88 beat to shit yota 4x4 with $250 total invested than I ever did in my "show truck"

    I am also sure I got a lot more waves when I was driving my 92 4x4 (basically stock aside from tires and dents) than I ever get in my 08. nobody cares what it looks like but you

    I painted my sliders a darker gray then the silver of the truck, black on the brackets underneath. They kind of blend in even though they are a different color.
