Default Black steel wheels??

I need some opinions on this. I'm thinking about getting a set of black 16x8 steel wheels for my truck to replace the stock 16" aluminum wheels. Do you think they would look good on my truck or will it be too much black? BTW, I plan on keeping the center caps and lug nuts chrome. Here are pics of my truck followed by the wheel I'm interested in:

i think it'd look good

but IMO i think the front is too blacked out, maybe a brushed bowtie to split it up

Extang RT. You can read about it here:

I've had it for 2 years and no major problems so far. It keeps the water out and it's very easy to use. No fading, stretching, or rips. Sometimes when I'm on the highway, the center will start flapping from the wind. No problems otherwise.
