Default Black trucks with black wheels.

Not sure if this is the right area..

I am wanting to see some pictures of some black 3rd gens with black wheels. I am wanting a new set of wheels and tires but not sure if all black is what I want to go with. I prefer to buy something I won't have to change out in the winter. (does that leave many options?) Also, I do not want to lift the truck so I was thinking some 17" wheels with a little meat. Do more road driving than mudding but parents have cattle and farm land, plus would like to get dirty sometimes without getting stuck.

please post some pics and input. Thanks guys.

No lift, just cranked torsion bars and longer front shocks. They are KMC XD addicts with the gay plastic bolts removed. With 305/70/17 nitto terra grapplers which are 34's.

Where are you from? Deal with a lot of salt in the winters?

Teach- I've always like your look, you and matt99 have the same wheels...? Are they just P/C? How well have they been holding up?

My wheels are painted with a wheel coating paint. I did the job about two years ago and they have held up great. The only nick I ever got in the paint was when I had new tires put on. Other than that I have never had any damage to the paint from road debris or from all the salt they put on the roads in the winter.
