Help with 20" rim choice

Okay guys, i have a 2005 red with tan trim f150 lariat...i dont have a pic of my own truck but here is one as close to mine as i could find...

The rims that i am concidering are 20" xd monsters in black or in chrome...my truck has chrome door handles and chrome mirrors, so idk how the black monsters would look, but lots of people hate the chrome monsters for some odd reason...any opionions would help, oh yea, my truck is 2wd with a leveling kit thanks.

Go with the black wheels and start ripping off all the chrome on your truck.

x3 on the chrome removal. Limit it to step bars and handles if anything. And headlamps.

Your truck would look really good with a black & chrome wheel, something thats 50/50, instead of all chrome and all black. I would reconsider for the XD Spys.

I vote black and chrome removal. lol. (I think all the stick-on chrome makes the truck looks cheap)

Replace Chrome with PTM Handles and Mirror Caps.
Possibly find a Red PTM Grill Surround.

But, needless to say, That is YOUR truck! Do what you want to do.

I like to start by saying the following is my opinion and only my opinion...I have to say this because there is always someone out there that seems to get there panties in a bunch when someone gives there opinion.

IMO because your bumpers are painted and not chrome a black or black/chrome wheel will look good. If you had chrome bumpers I would say go for chrome wheels. I do agree that too much of the stick on chrome looks cheap so if you go with black wheels you may want to strip some of the chrome off. But if chrome is your thing then go for it. Not sure why so many people think the xd monsters dont look good in chrome...imo they look good in both black and chrome...but then again I'm running the monters in chrome so my opinion is somewhat biased. Below are a few close up pics of my monsters for your viewing pleasure. Hopefully these pics help you make your decision...either way black or chrome.





Like everyone else has said...its your truck do what makes you happy..thats all that matters.
