Wow, that's a tough one... You don't have much silver or black on your truck. I'd say if you're gonna keep those rims, then go silver; if you're gonna change rims, then maybe black depending on rim selection. It's a toss up though. When I got mine I couldn't decide either so the shop I was dealing with got both a black and silver shipped to them so that I could decide in person. Maybe your shop would be willing to do that also. By the way, make sure you shop around. I talked with 4 or 5 different shops, and the quotes for the same Weatherguard model varied in price by over $300

Personally not a huge fan of silver or chrome.. I'd get the black one. Or if the silver is cheaper get that and paint it black lol

It really depends on color of the truck. I've got a chrome kobalt and love it. My truck is silver and chrome though.

I would say black because there is a bit more black on your truck than silver.

Looks like you got a cover on there. I would just get one that fits down inside the bed and leave the cover on it. Color wouldn't matter at that point. Just my opinion
