Question Black on Black, Should I...

I have noticed that my knock off replicas are cracking. One wheel, the spoke is cracking, the others have the chrome peeling off. I am going to get a new set of SS rims as soon as I get permission from the wife.

What do you think? Should I go with powder coated gloss black SS wheels? Pic in sig

I like the chrome. I think the black wheels would be too much black. maybe not.. spoolins truck looks good with the black wheels but i think his truck is green though.. have someone photo shop it for you

Spoolins truck is pretty black, i don't think there's any green in it but he has everything blacked out, looks good.
If you're going to paint the bumper then go black if not then I'd stay chrome or polish for a little balance.

My plans are SS bumper cover, painted grill, and HD hood. All black. Not an inch of chrome. I think it will look very stealthy. Even if I do decide to go with chrome wheels, the rest of the truck will be black.

i think if you do go with black, you should have something in the center cap stand out. maybe outline the bowtie in red or something.

1st if the SPOKE is cracking take it back to discount tire? at least thats the only place I know that sells the chrome reps cuz thats where I got mine
but I think on ur truck u should black everything out but the rims.. maybe not chrome.. Im not a big chrome fan.. but I think it looks good how it is and the black would be a little much unless u do something like brakes and outline the flags on the centers to stand out in silver or somethin.

I bought them from TBYRNE in July/August of 2005. I don't think he will cover it because he does not sell them anymore. But I never asked either.
