Gray FX4 - Chrome or Black Wheels?

I'm due for new tires & wheels, but can't decide on whether to get chrome or black. Please post pics to help with decision.

You can't go wrong with either decision. Black wheels look great on a solid gray truck, but once you have chrome bumpers or lights then the black doesn't look so good. I looked at trucks identical to mine with black wheels before I made my decision and didn't care for it. I decided to go with the chrome.

It's a 250, but is gray.

Both will look great. How about a black/chrome wheel if you can't decide (like the KMC SpyP)?

Either will look good. I actually like the black with polished combo. Someone on here is selling some black and polished Diamo wheels. they were on his gray truck.

OEM Wheels ?

I think these would look good. Not sure what year they were O.E. on though

Thanks guys, keep the pics coming!

I've got Metal Moto's now and really like them, expect for the fact that they tarnishing and starting to flake. I got them in 07, so I'm looking for a different style. One of the problems, is getting that right tire/wheel look without getting a lift. I've got a 2.5" level now with air bags in back for towing and 5lbs of air makes a big difference.

I like the sturdy stance with a meaty tire and where the wheel sticks past the fenders just a bit. I would like a 33"-35" tire. But I don't want a noisy tire.

I agree either one will look good, but if you live in a region where it snows go black.

On your FX4, and the fact that you have black running boards already, I think that a matte or eggshell black wheel would look best. I would definitely not go with a shiny finish though.

Maybe try and photoshop your current wheels into a black finish to get an idea.
