Pretend for a moment that you own a Black 2004 F150 Supercrew and you want to buy some new 18" wheels. You have narrowed down your choices and need to make a decision. Which do you pick and why?

This is the truck:



These are the wheels in no particular order:




You have decided to buy the Mickey Thompson 33" Baja ATZ tires either 305/60R18 or 275/70R18:

I'd go black. That truck looks kick *** and would look even better with the black rims. JMO.

I'm not a fan of black rims, to me they just look dirty. I like the MT rims, they are the same ones I want to get.

I'm not a fan of any of them too much but if I HAD to choose it would be the black ones.

Did you black out your headlights yourself?

I chose the third, black is not too black, means there is some other colors on rim to show it off

Default Just me from a practical point...

I would have no coated rims - mechanics and tire people just don't take care of them and crack the coating.

No exposed lug nuts. See above reason.

No small spoke chrome. Too hard to take care of.

That said, I bought NEw take offs from the "07 FX4.

I like them

I choose the DC polished wheels because I'm just not a fan of black wheels. Up close they don't look too bad on a truck, but from a distance they look horrible IMO. As ford fanatic already said, they just make the truck look dirty.

I'd go with the 3rd set also. Those look the best out of the 3.

I like the second ones the best. As others have said, I'm not a fan of black rims either.
