Welcome to the site. Black looks good on beige trucks.

Normally I'm a big fan of chrome but in your case a set of 18" or 20" black KMC Monsters or Rockstars would look awesome with your beige.

I'm gonna think outside the box here for a minute - one of the hottest fashion colors going - especially in mens watches is a rich brown - how about powdercoat? Or, a Ford wheel - maybe the KR - with the arizona beige accents??

I agree with cashel, my polished aluminum's always clean up nice, no matter how much crap, mud, dirt, gunk, brake dust, asphalt, road kill, etc. etc. is stuck on them.

I started with the chrome theme, but it quickly went to black, because I'm not one of those wash my truck everyday types of people. Not that that's a bad thing. I would think chrome or black wheeld would need more attention, especially black.

You might want to think about which tires you'll be putting on these wheels. You buy wheels once normally, you buy sets of tires several times. I'm on my 4th set with 180k on the clock, and I bought it with 93k, so the truck has probably seen 7 or 8 sets of tires total. What's the cost difference and availability of tires between 17's and 18's? Is this you're daily driver? The larger the wheel/tire combo, the more weight you'll be hauling around=worse gas milege.

As for as rockstars go, I'm already sick of them, every time I turn around some one has rockstars on a truck.

If you were an actual rockstar, then maybe... And playstation or xbox doesn't count...

yea it will be my daily driver, and if you have gone through 7 or 8 sets of tires then somethings wrong. maybe you should stick to a milage warrenty tire.

and as far as rockstar rims, i have never seen them on this truck, and they are hardly around down by socal

the reason y im thinking black, is because i want a black scheme, everything black except the truck color
