Default Opinion on color of a wheel

My truck is all black with Westin chrome sidebars, and chrome bodyside molding. Would a wheel like this be to much black? Hard for me to judge without actually seeing it on the truck.

at first i thought it would look f'n fantastic. then i looked again. the silver is a machined finish, not chrome or polished steel. might not look good with the chrome molding and step bars. but the black and silver combo looks great.

My personal favorite wheel, but they came out about a year after I got my MT Classic II's. But I think Feej's right, polished aluminum is not the look as chrome. How about this idea, staying in the same family (Mickey Thompson bought Cepek years ago, now they are both owned by Cooper)
If I ever replace mine, I'll be torn between the Cepeks or this but with a red ring.
Do a Classic Lock, in Chrome, with a black lock ring:

Those are the wheels I am gonna get, the MT Classic II's. With the red ring to match my truck. I can't wait... just need to save a little more money first.

Then you want the Classic Locks, not the Classic II's. I have the Classic II's, no lock ring...

Oh, when I look at the catalogs it looked like the classic locks were just the rings that fit on the Classic II rim... thanks.
