Help with wheels (Chrome vs Black

[hokis]

Alright guys... So I thought I had it all planned out. But now I am second guessing myself. Originally I wanted to get ION Alloy 183 20x10 wheels. But some how the order got messed up. So I had to cancel that and that got me thinking about other possibilities. I really wanted to go with chrome. However, I do like the BMF Sota stealth wheels. I have always said that I would never put black wheels on my truck since everyone has them on theirs. However, I am finding that they are cheaper then most chrome wheels. So what do you think would look best on my truck. I plan to run a 1.75" spacer also.

 

This is the truck as it sits now. Minus the mud flaps

 

 

This is option 1 - Ion 183 chrome wheels

 

 

Option 2 - Gear 726 chrome

 

 

and the last option 3 - BMF SOTA stealth wheels

Chrome n white is classy. Flat black wheels just disappear.

I'm old school - chrome all the way.

Chrome.

 

I have to say, I am really sick of seeing blacked out vehicles. People are STILL doing it because they seem to think its cool. It is completely overdone, it's just stupid. It's like people who buy a $50,000 truck, then go and destroy a nice clear coat paint job in favor of a matt finish. Are you TRYING to make your vehicle look like junk yard garbage?

 

Society is full of sheep. One person blacked out their vehicle, everyone else started doing it, just because it's the "fad" right now.

Many people run black wheels because of winter weather, they can keep them on through the salt months and it doesn't kill the rim. I think a white truck with chrome wheels looks great so the Ion gets my vote.

On your list I would choose Gear 726 but I'm not totally fun of chromes. Black wheels hide the real beauty of wheels. You might want to consider black machined or black & milled wheels like some on these Fuel Wheels

Get the chrome, black wheels do hide the look of the rims and it also looks like a black hole in your wheels wells from a distance as they blend in with the color of the tire.

 

You say the black rims are cheaper but look at it this way you put the black rims on your truck then after awhile you don't like them now you have to go out and buy another set of chrome rims, black rims are to bland looking.

Black rims on a white truck look horrid....looks like painted steel rims no matter how intricate they are. Chrome shines from afar and close up!

 

But it's your truck, what do you like? Do a Google Image search and you will see plenty of options.

I guess I'm the only one that likes black more than chrome on a white truck. I think the black would match better on your truck being that you have black accents and I don't see any chrome on the truck other than the mesh in the grille that looks chrome in the pic. Instead of all black, maybe black and chrome or black with machined edges so it's not all black. Plus it's a lot less care than chrome rims.

I personally would go with black.. And the gear and ions are low quality rims IMO. The bmf's are a high quality rims

[Skeeter McSkeet]

I like chrome and I like black depending on how each is done. I've always been a fan of the storm trooper look though, id say some type of black wheel but not a completely black wheel, need some sort of accents.

I'd go chrome. But you gotta like them...

[cuttingedge]

If you do some trail and some light mud rides, chrome may not be a good idea for it debris can sure damage the finish. I think BMF SOTA stealth wheels would be a better choice.

This right here. I used to always buy chrome rims but went with black the last 2 times I've bought them. When I had chrome I took them off for winter. With the black ones I ran them all year and they hold up way better. To each their own. I agree with the other guys though, chrome looks nicer on a white truck than black does.
