This^^ If you're torn, just spray one wheel and see what you think. Worst case scenario is your out $4 and some time.

I'm officially an old guy, but for me, I do not understand the current rage with black wheels. For me, black wheels mean you just could not afford nicer wheels. JMHO, you know?

I also like black wheels on some trucks. But on the OPs two toned truck I think the silver wheels look better.

I highly doubt thats the issue. Look at BMF wheels. Novakanes Stealth and Novakane Death Metal wheels come in black and are not cheap. Also look at Fuel Throttle wheels. Again, not on the cheap side. If you go by the black is cheap method and get chrome wheels where I live in New England, you will be replacing wheels every couple years with the chrome pitting and chipping in the snow/salt combo. You are from WA so you know about snow. I have nothing against chrome or machined wheels but black was what went with my trucks theme. Just a personal choice. Maybe this will help you with understanding why people go with black wheels.

Nope.....black wheels just remind me of the kids in high school who could not afford hubcaps. Not gonna like 'em even if they were the most expensive wheel in the world....price has nothing to do with it.....just don't like 'em.....again, JMHO. There's nothing in the world that sparkles in the sun like a clean Cragar SS wheel spinning as you pass a window where you can see your wheels....and again, I AM an old fart, and I know it!
Spinners were quite the rage for a while, and I really expect black wheels to go the same way after a couple of years......Nothing personal intended..personal choice is what this great country is based on!
