Chrome or black?

Hey everyone, as of late I've been set on getting black xd monsters for my truck but I'm starting to rethink my decision. I already have a lot of chrome on my truck so idk if the black wheels will look as good unless I paint the two tone tan molding black. I just ordered my lift spindles to complete my 9" lift that I will be putting on shortly after I decide on rims. So heres what I'm looking at:

that or this

on this (notice the chrome heads, chrome bumpers, etc)


Now, in your opinion, should I go with my original plan of painting all the tan black and go with the monsters or should I just skip the big project of painting and go with the chrome rockstars? I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons but I love both sets of wheels, maybe more partial to the rockstars minus the price, but idk how great the paint will come out. Your opinions are welcome thanks for your time!

IMO both ways will look awesome. Getting chrome rockstars might be cheaper than getting everything painted black, and would still look great.

I say chrome rockstars. You don't see around as much the black monsters or rockstars.

Agree either way would look sweet but if you plan on doing black accents later then you'll hate it if you get chrome wheels

With your truck I would go chrome. I like the current color combo and with the lift, new wheels and tires it will look even better.

Tough decision, my spindles should be in next week and when i get the lift put on I'm going to run my dads old bfgs for measurments and then rims and tires will be next. Thanks for your opinions!

I personally would go with a black and chrome rim, That way no matter what it will match some way, just my 2cents

Strikeswiftly did this chop for me and I made up my mind. Instead of rockstars it will be monsters though. Thoughts and opinions? I think it looks great.
