mostly agree.....I can tolerate stock amounts, a few trucks (for example brownings) can pull chrome mods off, most can't.

It's all about balance lol my motto is to have enough chrome to make it sexy, but enough black to make it mean.

Why don't you like chrome...just enough I think gives a truck a really nice look...too much or no chrome at all just doesn't do anything for a truck...my friend wants me to put black wheels on my truck and I won't do it cuz u can clean them but will always look the same...black...no shine to show your hard work after cleaning them

Good to know! I was planning to just remove and paint a black one with rustoleum each year for $4 instead if constantly up keeping a chrome one with polish every month...but sounds like they're worth a shot!

I think a bull bar is adequate, just the pipe style bar... The other may slightly decrease air flow into the grille which I prefer not to happen especially on hot days.

Exactly, and all black wheels look pretty much the same spinning. Like black holes. Chrome has more dimension to it when it's turning. And you can't beat the way it shines onto the pavement after a fresh wash.
