Color help!!

I've got a new '07 Black Lariat with the Chrome bumpers and step bars. What I cant decide to do is which color Moto Metal 951 wheels I want to go with. (33'' BFG All-TerrainTires) CHROME or BLACK? Also I'm going to be getting a Westin Bull bar and I cant decide which color bull bar I should getas well. Chrome wheels AND a chrome bull bar or vice-versa or a combo of the two. What do you guys think would look the best.

It's all a matter of what you want. If you go black on the wheels I'd go with something that had a combination of black and polished. The 951's are that way.

Go chrome. I ran black on my Ranger and I ended up taking them off and selling them. They just look cheap on some vehicles...and on my silver Ranger, they looked cheap.

Although those ones with the chrome ring are kind of nice.

I have a black truck also and will be going chrome as well. To me the black wheels just look like brake dust covered them and got them dirty.

one more question.... Whats the advantage of having 16 17 or 18 inch wheels? Is it more of a look thing than functional?

16" wheels wont fit cause ot caliper clearance. As far as the other, I believe it is personal preference. I tend to stick to a smaller wheel cause the tires tend to be less expensive.

If you look in my gallery, I have some wheels that are polished with black. I like em alot. They do look dirty with brake dust, but then again, so do the chrome wheels.

If you are going to put on a pull bar along with the rims I would go all around chrome.

rim size is largely about visual appeal. to me, if you're going for an off-road look you want a little more sidewall; most lifted trucks with 22s or greater look more like donks than capable all terrain vehicles. if you're driving off-road seriously, you need more sidewall. 18s would look great with 33s. have to agree with the general consesus here. chrome wheels are easier to admire from a distance; just much easier to see them. (& i've got black wheels!)

I think it would look silly to do anything BUT chrome. You got it started with chrome bumpers/steps, keep it chrome
