I had white wheels on a car from the factory with disc brakes. They were nothing short of impossible to keep clean. I was soooooo glad to get rid of them. Go with chrome

I know i am going to do this.I havent been able to do it just yet but i will keep you posted when its done.The stock wheels are hard to keep clean also.Yes the chrome ones are easy to clean(windex),but i really want my truck to stand out and that is why i wanted to do it.and will very soon.

Chrome on black or red looks great. Chrome or polished on white... well, for my taste I'll pass.

All white would be interesting, but I'd need to see it first. Zorprime, please get some scanned pics when you've done yours.

I think chrome goes well with any color. As far as white rimms, a white truck is a must. It will be intresting to see how the white L rims turn out. I believe if done right, they will be very nice and rather exclusive. I might put off the chrome for a little while to see how "project white" turns out. Cant wait to see the pics.!!

I put white 5-spokes on my GT when it was two years old and they really set the car off. I think your truck will look sharp.
