joe those wheels are sick i like em but thats the kind of look im looking for a simple 5 spoke i have more of a street look but you could pull it off also the ones dedogg posted are sick too those would look great on your truck i dont think they are busy but they would give you that meaner style and look all black with a touch of crome i also like those cepeks even tho they look a lil more off roadish....good luck on your decision.....

Jason, I couldn't agree with you more. I as well really like the look of a simple 5 spoke wheel that looks clean. I actually really love my stock 20" wheels, but I think the black rims with the chrome lip would bring my truck to that extra level and get more eyes with the all black look. I've always loved black, right down to my basketball shoes when I used to play lol. All my teammates would wear their preppy white shoes but I loved that black sock/black shoe combo (I know it's a weird referance hah). I will definitely keep looking around, and I plan to stop by over at my local Town Fair Tire and see what they have for some options and prices as well. I think it'd be kinda cool to run the black rim March-November, and the stock 20s December-February

YES! Lol.

I'm also looking at black rims for my '08 graphite QC 4x4. I totally agree with keeping some chrome on the wheel. I really like the look of an all black wheel on a truck close up but across the parking lot, you can't tell them from black steel. You need that machined lip to make the wheel look good from every angle/distance. I also think a 5-spoke is hard to beat but as long as you go 8-10 spokes as opposed to 6 you'll be alright. You might check out Helo Wheels, Mamba wheels, XD wheels, Ion wheels, Gear Alloy, etc. they all have some wheels with black and machined combinations.

Awesome, thank you for the brand names, I will look into them all. I've seen a lot of black rims goes wrong, especially a lot of the black on black combos lol. I don't want to be the guy with a black truck that looks dumpy because he picked the wrong rim.
