Who likes Black Chrome?
I'm going to be buying wheels in the near future. I really like the look of black. Check them out. By the way, they will be for a lifted 2004 F150 with 35 inch tires. The truck is black.
Heres the truck. (no lift yet)

black chrome for black car? not a fan, my general rule is dark mags - light car; dark car - light mags. (and never ever CHROME!)

I am more of a fan of the "shadow chrome." That looks more like a black paint than chrome.

Love it!
Regular chrome is played IMO, but this is coming from a guy who is on his 4th set of rims.
I get tired of the norm quickly and I think body matched rims is  at the moment.

Chrome fan thru and thru.
GSRstilez, I argee about getting tired of the 'norm' quickly, but for some reason I have like virtually nothing except chrome rims for over 10 years now. (yours looks ABSOLUTELY GREAT, btw.)
On other peoples cars I like whatever they like, but for me...CHROME CHROME CHROME!

it don't matter if it's black chrome, regular chrome, painted, polished, etc etc. as long as it looks good on your ride, that's all that matters!

I think them rims would be awesome on your truck. I know how GSR feels as I have had 5 different sets of rims on my Firebird: 16 inch alloys, 16 inch chrome, 17 inch polished, 18 inch black, and now 18 inch chrome. Out of all them I still love my 18 inch chrome. You either loved or hated my 18 inch black.

Those aren't black chrome, they appear to be black powdercoat, but I do like them.

For me black wheels on any color kinda takes away from the lines of the car and almost kills the cars look. Not really a big fan of them, but those are nice wheels.

I think it'll look great, but i'm a little bias
but do you mean just black, or actual black chrome?

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I'm doing black rims w/chrome centercaps on both the Caprices, and I liked the black anodized HREs on my C5, but other vehicles call for different finishes and it's all about what looks right *to you*.
I can't really say if I'd like the rims pictured on the black truck or not, but I suspect that I would. But then the black w/chrome centercap is a look I'm sorta partial to  especially on vehciles with the "heavy duty" look. |
