So I replaced my original bump stops with new low profile bump stops from Belltech and my truck still makes a thumping sound anytime I go over any small bump. I don't know what it is. My next step is to replace the aftermarket rear shocks with my original shock absorbers to see if that prevents the thumping sound.

So therefore I like a gloss black wheel, and the gloss black in this style has a chrome lip, which I also do not like..

Wouldnt get the gloss black with chrome lip wheel. It was either the matte or silver finish.

Depends on the truck.
I agree with cl, in that the matte's just get a "dull" look. Sorta lack-luster.
And your truck, being an FX wouldn't look great with the chrome. They would look completely different on a truck with chrome bumpers, like mine.
Not a bad wheel though.

I really like those. I'd say get them in a 24". The matte finish will look good against a silver truck.

I think my brand new Dub Ballers that are for sale would look good on that truck!

Machined surface with black accents look good but silver and chrome to me look best. Even without a stitch of chrome elsewhere on a vehicle, chrome wheels still look better than black.

I bought machined face wheels with black background/accents, and while I like them, I wish I would have gotten the chrome instead.

i may see if a local rim/tire shop carries these wheels and get a test fit.
