I Feel like here in texas if you have chrome wheels you are looked at as cheap because there are so many hispanics that get ghetto chrome wheels around here. they ruin it for the other chrome guys

Just realized I hadn't posted a pic here since I did my bumpers, for the chrome bumper with black wheel haters. Rustoleum truck bed liner from home depot. Looks much better than the chrome.

I like both crome and black. It really depends on the truck your putting them on.The new edge has a option of a crome and black combo wheel.

I like it. Did u get the rims powdercoated or paint them? The chrome bug guard is too much in my opinion. Color match with black looks better.

Thanks. I used Rustoleum spray on bed liner to cover bumpers and wheels. The chrome look is so played out, I added all the chrome stick on stuff 10 years ago. Now everyone, down here at least, is doing it.

Never a fan of black either... changing my mind though. I searched for months, felt like I settled, they are growing on me. Seems like it's either chrome bling, black or rims that look like spare tire wheels these days.

I have had polished aluminum, Chrome wheels and now black for the past 3 years.. I guess it all goes with changing trends and I the fact that I just got tired of the chrome look on my truck.. However, There are allot of trucks that I like with chrome wheels but just dont want them on my truck at this time..

Whoever said chrome is looked at as cheap because of hispanics does not make sense. Really, only hispanics buy chrome? Youre a moron!

Chrome can definitely look classy though especially on darker trucks. I think chrome wheels also look great on monotoned trucks with chrome bumpers, or all two-tone trucks with painted bumpers.

Black wheels with some chrome or machined facing can look really good on trucks with minimal chrome and/or two tones with black/grey accent colors.

Here are my examples that I thought worked okay.

My leveled King Ranch with chrome wheels:


My leveled XLT with machined accented black wheels to tie into both the chrome bumpers, grille and black trim:


My leveled F250 FX4 with chrome accented black wheels to tie into the two tone theme with billet grille:


My lifted F150 FX4 with machined accented black wheels to tie in the two tone theme and billet grille:

What wheels are they on the King Ranch ?
