Default Chrome or black wheels

I have a 2003 king ranch. It's the maroon/burgundy with gold two tone. There's the chrome bumper on the front and on the back. I'm leaning toward 20's. Chrome or black wheels?

Personal preference. I have black and polished aluminum on a black truck. Look on this site and find pics of trucks your color and find what you like.

I don't really wanna spend over 2 thousand for both tires and wheels so if I keep my tires that I have I'd have to get 17s instead of 20s. Worth it?

I'd Keep the stocks. you can't find them anywhere and if you do they want some decent buck for them. plus the chestnut color (brown not red or maroon ) isn't common, around here anyway. Just clean up the stocks and throw some new good tires on it and save the rest or catch up on maintenance just my opinion of what i think you should do

It depends, do you want to be seen? If so, chrome is the way. Some trucks can't pull of chrome though. Black more or less just blends in at the parking lot. I went with black and chrome lol.

When I was younger I would have said chrome. But recently I have been really liking the look of certain black wheels. I certainly don't think chrome would look bad especially if your front and rear bumpers are chrome.

I really like the chrome/polished look. I had these polished aluminum wheels that I loved. Only reason o got rid of them is because I absolutely hated polishing them. Took about 4 hours to do it right, and I had to do it once every two months. That and detergents from drive through car washes would instantly oxidize them and I would have to polish again.

Chrome or black wheels-image-1515596501.jpg I ended up going with these Level 8 Strike 5 wheels. I haven't seen anyone else with them and I've always liked 5 spoke wheels. I don't regret it one bit, cleaning takes me 30 mins TOPS. That and they were only 500 for the set at Discount Tire.
