my honest opinion,, i think crhome or black looks good on a white truck. if you choose chrome wheels, get a lot of chrome accessories to make the wheels fit in. black, keep everything white.

well i had the chrome 20's on before and i liked the look. i have a black tool box and bad caps too.

Black wheels would look better than chrome IMO.

No offense but I have never been a fan of chrome. I had it on my 2000 silverado 1500 looks amazing clean dirty wasn't bad but I really like the blacked out look on any truck. Id rather have black windows black taillights and tinted headlights with black wheels than chrome door handles chrome mirror covers and chrome wheels. And black doesnt show the scratches and its dirty doesn't look as dirty as chrome. I want to get a green or maroon 03 duramax when my truck sells black the windows and get monster XDs or powder coat some H2 wheels.

VERY TRUE... but i am not going to do an all out chrome assult on my truck, this is just for the wheels. the truck will stay the same as it is now.

im all for black too, since you have a black tool box, black bed rail caps, tinted windows and you go with black wheels, the black acessories you have will make the black wheels pop.

no no, dont get too crazy with the chrome, when i meant get a bunch of chrome accessories i meant like door handles, grille, bed rail caps. little accents...

One thing to consider. Chrome on white is timeless in our hot rod community. Black on white is the current trend and its hard to say how long it will be popular. Either way, its your truck, do what you like. Both look good!

IMO, stay far away from the tacky chrome accessories, they just look bad.

With the front of my truck having the chrome factory bumper, and doors handles, I elected to go chrome and have been happy with it.

not a bad choice, now put a billet grille on it and that would set it off.

I went with black on mine and have no regrets at all. The pictures in my garage still show chrome accessories on the truck which I've removed. I don't think I'll ever buy a chrome rim again no matter whats in "style".

I just went with black wheels on my new white truck after having big chrome 20s on a black truck. These new chevys with all the chrome in the front don't need anymore chrome. I have the KMC rockstars and they look grreat.

5 For sure well out of those :p:

Not enough black IMO either.....
Just got these put on. Wouldn't be my first choice but for the price with tires I can't complain and I think they look nice.

Yes, that's true... not to mention he's never worked a day in his life so he got fed to the dog. Obungus voters are kinda like Christmas lights; they all hang together in the front of the house, only half of em work and the ones that do aint that bright anyway :p:
