black or chrome
 
what do you guess think looks better. black on red or chrome on red?

chrome almost never looks bad... to me, black sometimes seems like they didnt have the money for chrome but wanted those rims...unless you have a black on red theme going with tones of black accents...

chrome

Mr. Special May 23, 2006 09:07 PM

rangererv May 23, 2006 09:09 PM

ya, what are we talking about?

if wheels..i say chrome

doc May 23, 2006 09:09 PM

I like the black.... No chrome on our trucks so I think it looks out of place.

I have no imagination, I need pics to compare.

Trigger01 May 23, 2006 09:11 PM

I say chrome. Black looks cheaper sometimes and it usually doesn't make the truck look as sharp, imo.

doc May 23, 2006 09:12 PM

Here is apic of mine in chrome (silver)

id say chrome, but black looks sick too. i think both look tight, but u need to be lifted to have black wheels IMO, or it looks like spares

we are talking about wheels, roll bar, step bar, grill, etc.

SanityAside May 23, 2006 09:13 PM

doc, yours looks real good with black wheels. it all depends on the truck. i think doc's looks sick on black.

doc May 23, 2006 09:16 PM

If you had the xlt chrome bumpers and maybe mirrors and such I think it looks good. But IMO with all the painted surfaces it looks out of place.

anthony84_2004 May 23, 2006 09:19 PM

I like the chrome better, If I were to get black it would be one with a chrome beadlock or lip on it w chrome center cap

rolla_guy72 May 23, 2006 09:27 PM

Or better yet, chrome and black!!

You have to take good care of them but they will rust anyway.... I wsy go full black or polished aluminum... I didn't and wish I hadn't gone cheap on my rims. I'm gonna be spending about 1400 bucks on rims and tires again...AFTER I purchase my lift parts.

Rosemont May 23, 2006 09:29 PM

I myself like black and red. There was no chrome on my truck to begin with and paying less for stuff is definetly a plus. I don't think it makes it look cheap though.

I like the bling that chrome or polished aluminum gives a truck.

RangerBoy03FX4 May 24, 2006 09:05 PM

black and red.

mountain ranger May 25, 2006 06:58 AM

I voted black. Thought we were talking trim, not wheels. Black wheels are ugly no matter what they are on!

FMD May 25, 2006 01:06 PM

I Vote chrome.

think of it this way, when the chrome getts heavly scratched /rusty, u can sand it and paint it black.

Lone Ranger 93 May 25, 2006 04:46 PM

i plan on selling my chrome this summer for black powdercoated, can't keep up with the rust in the winter months
