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 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.

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!
