Can't make up my mind and looking for some help. I am about to lift my truck and need to pic out wheels. I am looking at the XD Badlands either in chrome or bronze and the XD Diesels in black. Either way they are going to be 18". Right now the truck is all black but hopfully this yea it is going to be 2 tone black on top until just below the windows then silver for the rest of the truck. I am not sure if bronze will look good with those colors. Let me know what you all think.

Freddy,

I'd stay away from the Bronze if you're going to add silver to the truck. I really wish they made the Badlands in Black, I'd have them on my new truck in a SECOND! I'd stick with Black or the chrome badlands would look killer once you get the silver on there. Good luck

I too wish the Badlands came in black. I will most likely end up running them year round up here in New England and I am sure eventually the chrome is going to turn to crap then I can have them powder coated black.

WEll Damn, that sounds like you've got it worked out! I almost wish I wasn't in FL and could use that excuse with my wife to get the wheels done black. But then I turned on the news and saw how cold it was up there today, and the 73 degree's with partly cloudy skies we had today made me change my mind! ):h I'm going to call KMC and try to get them to make me a black set! HAHAHA, that's probably what they're going to say!

Its worth a try maybe if enough people call and ask for it they will do it.

Chrome Badlands on a black and silver truck :cool:.

But personally I'd keep the stockers or a set of H2s for winter up here. Chrome might not last even one winter. Just look at the crap we've had this week :rolleyes: (though we're fortunate compared to much of the country).:(

I think I am going to go with the XD Diesel I have to call my supplier tomorrow and see if they are in stock yet.

I've got the diesels in 20s on my truck. It's silver birch and the wheels are chrome. I think they look really good together.

look at my thread "just finished" in the wheels and rims section. i can do yours any color on any rim. i think a candy black on chrome with your paint scheme would look good.
