Default Black or Chrome??

Trying to decide which rims to go with when I do the 6" lift. I've pretty much narrowed it down to these to. Since that picture, I've added duel exhaust with chrome tips coming out at the side and black led tail lights. If I go with the black rims, I'll probably change the tips to black.

These are both 20x10 4.5 backspace and 24mm offset

Thanks for the opinions and advice.

I like chrome against that blue better myself. Where are you located and what are you going to do with old rims and what size are they?

Yeah, about the color, I hate it. I'm in Fort Worth, TX, I'm going to sell them, they are 20s.

I like the chrome with your color too. But then again I like the black. You have to figure out what way you are going with your truck

You can overdo chrome real easy. Good choice on the BLACK tails instead of chrome.

I say black since you are going with black tails.

I'd go with black. You could have a black/blue theme and call your truck 'bruiser'

Call me old school, but I think that chrome looks better with blue. If I had the dough to get new wheels I would go chrome (i have a patriot blue ram)

Yeah, I was kind of leaning towards black, just wanted to hear some other opinions. The blacks are cheaper, I've never had black rims and I already have enough chrome rims to polish. haha Plus, I think the black exhaust tips would be pretty cool.

black is the color that can't be over done since it goes with anything. Black all the way, and black exhaust tip look sharp, i'd just get a huge tip that is bigger than 3". maybe like a 5" tip thats blacked out.
