Why black wheels?

I disagree. I think the two tone wheels are gross, at least 90% of them. If they are just lightly accented its ok. The secret to the black wheel is getting nice ones, like BMF or AFs or something. Not the 250 dollar XD wheels. Fuel is hit or miss. And they need to be at least 20", preferably 22+ in order to really look good. 18" and down never look good on trucks. Most people dont like the cheap chrome wheels because the finish goes bad really fast. That and the whole "i hate chrome" thing happening in todays world. (which is stupid) I prefer polished wheels at the end of the day though. My .02

It just grew out of way to much chrome from 80's and 90's.
Gen X, X games whatever, brought on the whole matte black craze. It's generational. I have two tone now, love them because I felt that you could see no outline of the design with a straight black wheel.
Now painted is coming on strong. Painted headlight, wheels, etc. flash back to the whole 90's Miami Vise deal.
Tired of skulls and demented clowns on paint jobs for sure

In person they looked really good.

I think black wheels look terrible and ghetto/low class on any car or luxury SUV. However, on trucks I love black and prefer it to chrome. Mentally for me it has to do with a truck being designed with utility and off-road in mind which black=muddy which makes black a good look
