So currently i have some chrome 22's on my truck running 305/45/22 Falkens. The rims look good (Ill see if i can find some pics later) but since i have a set of 20" SS wheels in my shed i was thinking about changing it up some. They are currently gray, but i would powder coat them black first. The current wheels i have on are VERY heavy, and the ss wheels feel significantly lighter. I want to end up selling one set, just not sure which ones yet. Questions: Im sure its been asked before but do you guys have pics of black on black setups with ss wheels? I also plan on color matching everything painted instead of that plastic look. I was just wondering how the murdered look would be with 5% tint and the only chrome being the grille. Also, since its my dd do you think it would gain or lose mpg? I would still run a fairly fat tire so i dont think it would be much smaller dia overall. Im sure it would pull a little harder since they are lighter. Opinions?

 

hmm what all would you leave chrome? are you going to leave the chrome molding down the side? i personally love black, unfortunately my truck is yellow so i cant do black rims , well i could but it just wouldnt look right to me, anyways you should pick up maybe a mile or two more per gallon IF it does shed weight, i know when i changed from my 20s to 22s back to 20s i saw a difference in gas mileage and both was overall same dia

if you wanted to just see what itd look like before spending money on coating them duplicolor makes a spray can paint that you can simplely wash off with soap and water, could always give that a shot i mean itd be worth the 5-6 bucks for the paint just to see if you like it in my opinion. i say go for it though

 

Interested in selling the SS wheels? I'm looking for a good set.

 

Just my opinion -- but i would stay away from black rims on black truck. Just by looking at your avatar seems as tho ur truck looks really nice with the 22s.

 

I would consider it except for the fact that i am deployed right now and it would be kind of difficult...sorry.

 

i think all black rims look badass on black trucks, but not black rims with chrome lips so powdercoat the ss wheels and ur there

 

yeah, they would be powdercoated all black. Anybody else got an opinion?
