Poll>Silver or Chrome On Silver Vehicle

Would these look better on a silver car in chrome or silver?

What size rim and tire? If you don't have any chrome to compliment the rims, I'd go with the silver.

Chrome, the silver doesn't offer enough contrast. Then again what do I know? I don't like black wheels on black vehicles either.

I say chrome and slam it. Those rims seem a little car-ish for your Sport-trac, but if you lowered it, it would work nice. Please keep us updated with your decision.

Go wild and do something different from the crowd, like a coloured chrome. I know where to get it Australia, but dont ask me where in Kansas! Something like a black chrome would rock IMO.
Another option would be to have them "carbon fibred". I saw it at a car show in Oz, but dont ask me how they did it, but it sure stood out and looked good on a white car. *Darn* wish I had my camera with me so I could show you...

Black chrome - cool! Anthracite - sweet!

I'm sure there has to be a website somewhere where you can try different wheels on line to see what works for you.

Yeah, I'd forgotten about black chrome; that would look very cool on silver . . .
