Chrome looks the best in my opinion.

Call me different but those wheels really jump out at me and I think they would be sweet BUT if I went the black route I really think the rockstars would be killer...can't belive no one else thinks it would be?

So you guys think the chrome 951's would look ok with the color of my truck?
everyone has them they're old news
get the new XD diesel wheels in black

Speaking of this does anyone know how the rockstars clean? If I bought them I would prolly run them in the winter up here in MN....just wondering if if the paint will chip or anything?

I would now say w/100% certainty to go black...that is unless you plan on switchting back and forth from stock to aftermarket depending on the seasons (and for people who I hear do this, I think, "Are you Crazy?!Man, that is just waaaay 2 much of a hassle & 2 much work for me". But then again, I can be kinda lazy at times, so maybe that's it??)

I agree. Are you planning on keeping these wheels on year round? If so, I'd go black teflon to protect against the salt & winter. If you're gonna rotate, then either black or chrome.

I'd go with the black but the best advice would be to just keep looking.....eventually you will find "the" wheel and the choice will be easy.

Why not a "gun metal grey" to match your lower rockers? liquid metal has some nice wingmans as do some other wheel makers. just a thought but i like chrome personally.

Personally I like the look of chrome 100% times better than black wheels. Of course the winters in MN will play havoc on a set of chrome wheels so that may be a consideration, but I'd still go chrome and just swap out to a winter wheel.

I just think that since I have grey rockers black would look good...because it wouldnt be TOTALY blacked out. If was all black and didnt have grey rockers I think chrome would look better.

Anyone else agree with my analogy or not!? LOL
