Question Black or chrome wheels

I need some help. I have a 06 FX4 that is true blue on top and gray on the bottom. What do you guys think will look better black or chrome wheels? Theres no chrome on the truck except for the headlights. I need some help on this decision.

Chrome, always! Unless you plan on lifting it, than maybe black.

Get either HD or FX2 heads then go with some black wheels.

Chrome unless you plan on changing headlights. You could always powdercoat to whatever color you want at a later date.

You guys think chrome wheels will look good with no other chrome but the headlights and step bars? I was thinking black wheels since there is very little chrome. But that is why i asked for your guys opions.

I think it all depends in where you live. If you have to deal with winter, salt and sand go black because chrome will not hold up. Thats the reason I went with black. If you live in a good climite area go chrome.

I went with Black and a chrome lip which I think is a nice combo. I think either will look good on your truck.

Color matched wheels or all black are hella-lame.
