Default Anyone Else Getting Tired of Seeing Black Wheels?

I'm just wondering if anyone else is getting tired of seeing black wheels on our trucks? I've had black wheels on mine forever, and maybe I'm just craving something different so I'm thinking about changing them to something other than black. Every truck I see on the road has black wheels it seems.

What do you guys think?

Eh nothing against black wheels. I just like good looking wheels... sometimes they happen to be black lol. I've got a lot of chrome on my truck that I'm not trying to replace, so personally I don't think black would be a good look on mine with all the chrome.

I still dig black wheels. Plus they are so much easier to keep clean. Chrome looks great on some vehicles as well. It's all preference.

Ive been tired of black wheels since they first came out. Nothing like a rim that looks like it only has black primer.

I agree with berty, I think it depends on the trucks trim package. Chrome trim, chrome wheels, Black trim, black wheels. Also goes with your accessories too. But I also think there is too much black, whatever happened to a set of nice shiny chrome wheels with some beefy tires. I personally left my stock chrome wheels with bigger tires to go with the chrome trim.

I have the Appearance black wheels, They looked awesome at first, but now, they are getting old.
I would prefer the black chrome wheels from the non-appearance FX4.

Don't get me wrong, I love black wheels, but I think I see so much of them now it's making me want to see something else. Mine are actually plastidipped so I think I'll just peel it off. My Procomp wheels aren't chrome underneath though, they're more of an aluminum look which should still fit my theme.

This x100. Saying black wheels are getting old is about as stupid as saying black bumpers or black trim or black paint or black tires is getting old. I buy what matches my truck.

Chrome has been around for decades and honestly I think chrome looks stupid and wont own anything with chrome on it. Looks cheap as hell to me. Polished looks a thousand times better and doesn't look near as cheap as chrome, but I hate the maintenance of it.
