Would Black Wheels look good on my truck?

I'd like to have something other than the stock Silverado wheels on my truck, but I really can't justify shelling out $1000+ for them. So I was wondering how these cheap black Cragar wheels would look.

My truck is dark metallic gray, but this picture almost makes it look black.


Opinions???

For my 2c - NO.
If you want a coloured wheel, gold or white woulf be better choices IMO.

Hmm, I think white or gold would look really out of place on my truck. It seems (from reading similar posts on other message boards) people generally don't like black wheels. I like the look on some cars/trucks, but they can make a vehicle look cheap.

Here are some pics from a recent eBay auction, which I personally think look good.

I think it looks killer..and i never use that word

I really really like it...I had black wheels on my red Firebird, but didnt like it too much but black on black as always looked sleek to me.

I for one think balcks wheels on black or dark trucks looks sick! I no of a kid who lives in westhampton i am fimiliar with...aside from his Bentley GT (no joke) he has a black escalade on 22 inch black wheels and it looks amazing!!!! However IMO those wheels i am not to fond of, go with more of a spoked rim give it a sporty look!

Life is just too short to waste time playing to the crowd.

Give yourself a few days to think them over and if YOU still like em' I say go for it!

Your truck, your wheels, your expression!

Thanks for all the comments. I'll think about this for a while. Like I said, I've seen black wheels on trucks that just give them a cheap look.

BTW, what are NASCAR tires?


Edit: Nevermind!

I think that black wheels would look great.

Unfortunately cheap Cragars will always look cheap.

How about having the stock wheels powdercoated?


PC.
