Default Black Vs. Chrome

Does anyone have any pix of their truck(2 tone, yellow or white over charcoal, mines white) w/ chrome or black wheels? I don't know which would look better on mine. I know everyone wants to post pix of their truck and are just looking for an excuse to do it, so here's your chance.

I have black 15 inch rims on my truck, more pics in profile.

And before you say it, yes I know I need bigger tires. :-)

Not exactly what you asked for, but I just went through the same dilema.

Turns out on my supercrew that the tinted windows were enough to accent the black of the wheels nicely, and I am pretty happy with the look. These are black spoke with chrome outer rim.

Just throwing out an idea. Since you have the charcoal at the bottom, what about a Charcoal rim? I want these, but gloss black.

I like those, how much do they cost? I also found some extreme alloys that are charcoal/chrome and I also thought about going with a rim that was black/chrome.

Does anyone else have a problem with a lot of brake dust on their front wheels? It seems like a lot on my stock wheels. Will it be better(less noticable) with a chrome rim or a black rim?

I've found black to be easier to clean as just wipe it off as opposed to real chrome is wipe off and polish. A LOT depends on ease of wheel cleanliness is based on design. As in it takes me 2 to 3 minutes to clean the truck's black rims and used to take me 6 to 8 minutes a wheel to clean the stock one's as not as streamlined.
