Chrome or Black???

Looking at the ATX wheels AX188 Ledge for 10 F150 SCREW, it is candy apple red 4x4 with the chrome package. I will stay with the same diameter but a little wider profile tire like the Nitto Trail Grappler

Chrome or Black???? Thoughts please? If someone has some pics of Candy Apple red with black wheels that would be cool.

Since you have the chrome package, I think I would stay with the chrome wheels.

Yes, but the chrome stuff can be changed!

It really depends on what 'look' you're after. In my opinion, if you keep the chrome stuff from the chrome package, keep the wheels chrome.

I believe in contrast between wheels and body. If your truck is light-colored, black would look better, and vise versa. However, being red with chrome package, I think chrome would look better to bring out the rest of the chrome on the truck. I ordered my black wheels for my tan truck yesterday and can't wait to post pics after installing them. So my answer is CHROME...will be sharp and require less work for color consistency on the truck.

Chrome package = chrome wheels. Dont over do the chrome by adding other chrome accessories.


There was a guy on here whom had black wheels, door handles and mirrors on a candy apple truck with chrome bumpers, but I can't remember his ID off hand.

Here was mine with chrome package and chrome wheels.

Personally, I wouldn't add to the case of Gotalotofchromeititus.
I'd ditch all the chrome.

Why would you want to make your truck look worse. Black wheels on anything looks like crap. At night its even worse. Your driving around on taxi cab wheels. Polished, chrome anything except black. They should be banned.

I would assume a decision was made a long time ago, that post is 8 years old.........

Confrontational first post - not a good way to start out here.
