I've had this discussion in previous post before. Everyone has there own style so as long as you like what wheels "you" purchase thanthats all that matters.

I can't say I "dislike" black wheels. I just think that there are some vehicles that they dot look good on. As said before it depends on the accents of your truck. Chrome bumpers, chrome badges, chrome grill and then black wheels doesn't go so well, but that's my opinion. I personally prefer chrome b/c they draw more attention and don't blend in with the tires.

Some people live were there are harsh winters and can't afford to have two sets if wheels so they have to get black to with stand the winter.

i like black wheels but i've had chrome before. i thought about switching back but i think my next wheels will be fuel octane 20x12s in black off course. i might get some clear sprayed on them though because i want them glossy black.

I am not one for black rims but they do look good on the RIGHT vehicle. Also am not a fan at all of ppl the put stacks on their trucks or lower a full size truck or even worse, lowering duallies. That is just walmart redneck lame IMO. But like everyone says ....to each their own.

I felt the same way as you until I Photoshopped my truck with black wheels then I was in love. Mines aren't really black. The name of mine is Sterling Black which is like a light black and a dark grey I would say with metallic flakes.

I like chrome rims. Chrome with black accents are nice also but in general, I am not a fan of black wheels. Having said that, blacked out trucks look great, but having once owned a black truck I don't think I would ever go that route again.

Just my 2 cents...to each his own.

This us a perfect example of what black wheels look good on. You have everything painted and not one spec of chrome on the truck. If I would have put black wheels on my f-150 which was the same color except with chrome bumpers, it would have looked
bad. On a solid painted truck you can't go wrong either way. But IMO I think when someone puts solid black wheels on there truck they need to have a color matched edge just as you have. This separates the rim from the tire.

I feel black wheels on a dark blue or dark green trucks looks horrible!! Every other color can work but there is something about blue and green with black. White trucks with black wheels look best IMO
