Nah they aren't chrome. They are polished with a clear coat over the top of it so it doesn't dull or need repolishing later on.

Just my opinion, but no way would I ever do black wheels. Black wheels are WAY WAY WAY too played out on way too many cars and trucks out there. I think that wheels should pop and not blend in with the rest of the car or truck. Black just blends in too much for me.

Looks great!!

I'm getting sick of the black wheel thing too, your wheels looks great. Any idea what backspacing? Do they rub?
Definitely makes me wish I would have just bought some 17's instead of putting 35's on the factory 18's.

No unfortunately I don't know the backspacing. They were on the truck when I bought it and I don't have any info on them other than matching them in the 4 wheel parts catalog to know what wheel model they are. They stick out about 1/2-1" past the factory fender flares on my FX4 though. That's all I know about the backspacing of these particular ones.

No rubbing at all. Zero from lock to lock. For some reason the same size BFG's did rub, but I had a major alignment issue, which could have, and most likely did, contribute to the rubbing that those ocassionally did.

Thanks for all the great comments so far guys! I appreciate it greatly. The truck has had quite a transformation since those pictures were taken. Exterior wise its the same but in the last month I've added all of the following:

S&B Intake
Roush Off Road Exhaust
Xenonlink HID's in Heads and Fogs
JVC Double Din (Nav, Bluetooth, XM)
Fosgate Components in all 4 doors
SRT-9000 Code Alarm
Scan Gauge II
Herculiner
Kicker 300.1 Amp
JL 10w1 in factory sub location

It's been quite a busy month for me already! I still have to finish the wiring of a few of those components but It's been a great time working on it and the pleasure and satisfaction of doing it myself has been great!
