yzfr6, I got my rims chromed and got a lot of compliments on them. If you do get the rims chromed it will take alot more time in detailing the rims trying to keep them shiny and clean. The silver clear coat is so easy to keep clean. DJY

I'm planning on getting mine chromed, but don't really want to have my truck sitting on blocks while it gets done. Mine won't be done until I can do a swap.

I think Chrome looks good on silver, and I have gotten lots of compliments. Of course mine is a 2000. YMMV
