Default Wanting new wheels.

Hey guys im wanting to change the look of my truck again and im going to do some new wheels, Roll bar is going bye bye, New front bumper is being built right now, and maybe some new springs in the rear so she dont sag. lol. What wheels would look the best? Black ( my favorite), Chrome, or Pollished?

donnt get dick cepek dc1 blacks. that is what i have. i love the looks of them, but the clear coat is already starting to mess up. they are about 1 1/2 years old. and i take very good care of them. only seen mud once and snow a few times. and when they did see harshness they were always washed or atleast rinsed off. i am very dissapointed in them.

Your not the first person to tell me that talon. Sorry to hear that. But if i go with a black wheel it will be all black. The problem is the size i like to run. 17x10. Not seen to many all black alum 17x10s.

My opinion go black, I love my black rims, but looks like you want to go with aluminum vs. steel, and have fun trying to find a 17x10 if you could run a 17x9 procomp has some good looking rims

Found this ultra wheel the 17x10 has 4.5 backspacing are you looking for rims over a certain load rating or no???

Only problem is the sim bead thing

Wait what is the bolt pattern on them axles??? kinda forgot that you had the 60's
