The 40-somethings and up will largely vote chrome!
I went with Gloss black with machine accents. I have had 2 sets of chrome wheels and after about 4-5 years they would no longer hold air. I was told that the chrome plate inside the wheels corroded over time and that was causing a slight leak. It was a pain to constantly fill the tires with air, and both sets did the same thing.
I'll never go back to chrome, I'll do either black or a machined aluminum wheel for now on. Good luck to you though, just build what you love. At the end of the day that's all that matters.

Nice truck!
^^^And this is the answer to the OP question!
FX2/4s have no chrome so leave the chrome to the xlt's and limited's!
An Fx4 requires black or black/machine!
Nice trucks keep them pics coming!

jfcplayers truck is best looking truck in this thread IMO
Although I really like the BMF wheels too
I vote black. Chrome doesn't look bad black is better IMO plus easier to take care of.

To me, there are only a few colors that look right with black wheels. That would be black, white and red.
I do think Ford over-chromed our trucks. That is why I went with machined aluminum wheels. It definitely toned it down some. Putting on a smoked Recon third brake light today.

Alright....I'll budge.
Chrome wheels are fine as long as you don't add crap cheap chrome accents on the truck. You bought an FX4, it has no chrome and adding any accents won't do you or your truck any good.
This includes:
pepboy's chrome door handle covers
King ranch/Lariat/XLT grille
pepboy's chrome mirror covers
generic chrome rocker panel covers
and of course, my personal favorite: chrome b-pillar covers
The list above is the perfect way to rice out a trim that many people seem to do around where I live, They're tasteless idiots IMO. You buy an FX4, you keep it an FX4 and that's that. Regardless of this, I'd go black wheels.
