Default narrowed wheel search down

I have decided I would like the XD spy wheels on my 2010 Dodge Ram 4x4 crew cab SLT in brilliant black. What I can't decide is if I want the wheels with black and chrome accents or the all chrome wheels. Truck has chrome bumpers and door handles. Does anybody have a picture of a black truck with these wheels? Are 17s big enough? I would rather not have to buy new tires right away.

These are the black with chrome wheels I am looking at:

These are the all chrome:

honestly, chrome wheels to me are just so 10 years ago on trucks , i just like black wheels on dark trucks. and i have xdm monster and my buddy has the rockstars. they are both awesome and i would think about 20 if i were you. yes they cost more but save a few more bucks and get the right combo. i found myself having to go back and "upgrade" all the time on my previous cars. i got 15's on my accord, than went to 17's, than to 19's. sorry for preaching bro. if you got any questions on tire sizes and wheels, just let me know.

Here is a pic of my truck.



Here are the black and chrome.




Here are the all chrome.



Thanks for the advice zrile9. One question I do have is that my stock tires go on 17x8.5. It appears that these only come in 17x8 or 17x9. Would my stock tires still fit on these new rims? I would like to use the tires up and then buy bigger ones later.

Out of the black and machined do you like the XD better or this one the ultra drifter?

black and silver spies.. its not even close

solid black wheels lend themselves to laziness. chrome wheels look soo good when they are clean

i think the black wheel craze will be over soon, its a fad and fads die eventually

but i do love this look with spys

i would think the tires will fit. my buddy and i bought the same toyo open country tires (35's), from the same place at the same time, he went with 20x10 and 20x9 for me. cant tell the difference. but do check with the tire shop first just to be certain.

oh yeah, XD's for sure over the drifters. another thing, get someone to photoshop the wheels on your truck or just go to tire rack.com and you can see them on your vehicle. let me see if this works.
