Talking Black Rims

I got looking at a set of these babies... Considering they're a local item I might consider these over injectors. Now I know some dont like black but with a nice white letter tire and the chrome like hub... they should look niiice.

What do you all think?

You can't see 'em while you're driving - but you sure can feel injectors.

I think black rims only look good on certain color trucks. Dark green trucks with black rims look tough! Silver with black rims looks good too. I don't think black on black would look that good.

What about those simulated bead locks right there beside the black ones? They're pretty sweet looking as well.

Got a black 3500 dually. I painted my rims gloss black first and ran that till they got scratched up, from play'n in the mud. Now got some header flat black on them with the dodge center with the black wall out and like it.

I like black rims. Tough to get them for dually rears though. I'll probably get my aluminum rims powdercoated black eventually.

I do like the black but as Dave said... with a dark type background(my metallic paint job), a set of polished aluminum ones would probably suit best.

Maybe I should have made this a poll...
