Guys,which wheel will look better?

Im changing out my crappy factory general ameritracs 255/70/17 (two with broken cords @ 31k miles!!) with 4 285/70/17's next week when delivered.
Heres a pic showing stx wheel propped up in place in front and the chrome factory xlts already mounted in rear.
Which rim would look better in your opinions?? Im mounting blackwall out?? thanx
Oh yeah,pic of truck is in is in my profile..

another vote for the front ones... The aluminum looks better and is lighter, it's not that chrome is out but those chrome wheels are not attractive at all. In my opinion they look cheap where as the spoked ones dilhon has look really nice. remember that the final decision is yours, if the chrome ones make you happy don't let us stop you.

My truck came with the 17" aluminum with grey painted accents. I loved the chrome Lariats so I dropped $800 on those off ebay.
