The chrome will look better.. I'm assuming you have chrome bumpers.. so it will match more. believe me

The black/red just do anything for your truck, and why spend the cash on a new wheel that you have to paint to make it look good?

I've got the same color and have had this same dilemma. I found the only black wheels I really like are the Pro Comp 7005s like Zeruin's. If I can't find any of those used, I will likely go with chrome as someone has a set I will likely buy. In short, I think either will look good. Good luck.

I've got the graphite color, with the PTM bumpers, and stock chrome wheels. I am getting my wheels powdercoated black because the truck looks off with the chrome wheels.
So I vote black wheels, UNLESS you have chrome bumpers, in which case, you should leave the chrome wheels as they are.

what size rim though?
if your thinking about smaller rims like 17-18's, I'd say black, because no matter how big of a rim you choose in black they always look smaller than they actually are. also if you go black and seeing how the inner trim on the wheels are red might wanna paint the calipers red?? kinda like a matching thing??
if your going with 20-24's go chrome the bigger sizes will stand out better in chrome.

but thats just my opinion.

Good idea with red break calipers. I think I've made up my mind. I'm going with black
