Default Chrome or black? Opinions needed!

i was just looking for some other opinions on this. im gonna put 6", trail graps, and 20" wheels in the next couple of months. Should i go with a black theme? maybe some black monsters or rockstars? and keep my door handles black, maybe a black bull bar? etc. Or should i go with some chrome wheels and PTM handles, chrome bull bar, maybe tool box? im dead in the middle, ive seen my same truck and color gone both ways and cant seem to decide. thanks!

heres one with the rockstars

and heres one with some chrome monsters
they both look BA!
and i just dont really have a preference. im stuck in the middle

Black is getting trendy but that's because it looks awesome. I'm in the process of blacking mine out and wonder if I should have gone chrome. IMO the chrome door handles look odd (ugly), but the chrome rims look good.

Nothing like the clean look of the chrome rims...I don't care too much for the chrome accents (handles etc) But don't worry you'll get allot of support here to go black! Seems like the new in thing to do...for some!

Black rims only look good to me hanging under my bed! Look cheap!

i like black wheels on all white or dark color trucks. I think a good looking set of chrome wheels will look best with your white and tan color truck

I have chrome monsters and like them a lot. They match my bumpers,grill and SS exhaust pipes. Not a fan of the chrome/billet door handles or gas covers.

If I was going to run black wheels I would just roll some cheap steel wheels. IMO, the black does look a little like you're running on spares.

I'm glad we have all these options to match our different personal tastes.

I would have to agree black wheels for an all white truck and chrome for the white and tan

I am SOOOO tired of black on black... have some originality.. it is in fact your truck.. you know?! if you think chrome will look good.. then it will look good. Myself, i had to go chrome, my type of red won't look right with black accents.

yea i know, i just think they both look good. so i was right in the middle of the 2. Either way i go id be happy, just looking for a few other opinions. and yea its just the 2 tone that makes it up for discussion for me. if it was a solid color it would be a no brainer

if your accents are already black I'd go black, but if your accents are already chrome, I'd go chrome, but that's just me. It's your truck so do what you like, that's what makes each one of our trucks unique.
