It's really about what you like, but for me on those particular wheels I think Black looks better, inexpensive wheels that are chrome really spell out cheap in my book. It kinda gives it that bad look look instead or the cute truck look.

chrome is aerodynamic and makes you go faster

bouncytruck · 03-21-2006, 06:09 PM

Post some pics of your truck.

Depends On The Color Of The Truck

1969k10stepside · 03-21-2006, 06:19 PM

Thinking of a darker blue maybe arrival blue

**Palf70Step** · 03-21-2006, 07:00 PM

Black on a 4x4 always look like I'm tough and ready for action. They will hold up and look better too (IMO), especially if you are going to use the 4x4.

I always like shiney things.

I think Black looks Better Yo.

Longhorn Man · 03-21-2006, 08:04 PM

being in indiana... and the salt used on the roads (assuming it will be a daily driver) I'd go with paint too. Inexpensive chrome wheels look like crap after a year or two.

pebbleboy · 03-21-2006, 08:08 PM

I vote chrome because I just bought them in black

Hope you don't get the back order wait like i had

**Ricks1971** · 03-21-2006, 10:15 PM

BLACK! BLACK! and more BLACK!

Southedisto · 03-21-2006, 10:26 PM

I have a set of those in trome 8 lug. Dont like them too much bling, they may get sanded and squirted.

**special-K** · 03-22-2006, 08:06 AM

Depends on the overall look you`re going for.Chrome sure looks good on a dark blue truck.Especially if it`s a truck with trim.No chrome for a daily driver or outside truck in your area unless you want a new hobby called keeping the rust off my chrome wheels.If you use factory center caps,the area that is most prone(around the lugs)can be kept covered.You can always paint over the black ones if you want a different look.Like a factory look:Rallye wheel silver,beauty rings,and center caps.Or,color-matched to body...

1969k10stepside · 03-23-2006, 05:13 PM

thanks for the imput

Sheverlay · 03-23-2006, 08:25 PM

The AR Mojave's are pretty similar to those, but they are aluminum.
Might wanna check 'em out.

I did a quick Google, and it looks like they are $150-250, depending on what finish and size u get.

i think i changed my mind again(like everything about this truck) and am
looking at some eagles.

Better not take a curve too fast, your tires might fall off

I bet they clean up easy, but if they are anything like a frying pan, it don't take much to scratch 'em.
