The chrome thing being gaudy and cheap: I totally agree. The super bright chrome of the last 20 years is real gaudy. It's far too bright. I can remember when the chrome had more of a nickel look to it (think Mongoose bike frame, Cragar Wheels). Me personally, I only like the chrome on the grille for the bugs, and the bumpers for the same reason.
Disproved your theory, besides, I'm not old.

Those Venom Rex wheels are absolutely beautiful, really nice looking. I'd buy a set tomorrow but they are just way too expensive for me lol.

I feel like I see a lot of the same 4-5 styles of wheels on trucks, or maybe that's how it's always been.

Mine are different (concave element to the spokes, thicker spokes, and a little more machining) but similar. at some point, with so many wheels and styles offered, most things are similar to something I guess unless you get something really "unique"

to me really depends on the paint color. dark colors such as blue jeans w a machined or pvd wheel looks really sharp. if my truck wasn’t magnetic would have likely gone w a gray wheel, probably black rhino warlord at the time. I really like the bronze wheel look, just not sure how I will like it in a few years. that being said the bronze or gray wheel paired w the right paint color is my current favorite look. I have black w a gray lip which is awfully close to our magnetic paint, shade lighter whe freshly washed. would have preferred not having the black bolts in the gray but this was the closest I could find to what I wanted. end of the day it’s all personal preference. if you like, get it.

I disagree and agree. Generally speaking, black wheels have not been around that long, so it's hard for me to say that it's over used. Chrome wheels and trim have ruled for decades and were all over the place. I think back to 90's GM trucks / full size SUV's where EVERYTHING was chrome. At the time, it was refreshing anytime I saw chrome trim / moldings removed with PTM roll pans. I think the fact that so many cars are rolling around with black wheels now clearly demonstrates how people were sick of chrome. On the flip side, I think XD and Fuel wheels are way overused - especially on lifted trucks. Any truck in my area that's lifted or leveled seem to sport them and nothing sets them apart.
IMO, vehicle and trim color dictate whether or not black wheels would be appropriate. Black wheels on something with a good amount of chrome does not look good to me.
