Rickson Truck Accessories http://www.ricksontruck.com/ has several photos of customers' trucks who switched to the 19.5" black powdercoated steel wheels. Check them out. I think they look pretty sharp. If I can get more information on how well they handle and what the effects on brake performance, acceleration, and suspension wear are like, I just may move up to 19.5's and sell my 16's.

I have charcoal wheels with a charcoal truck, check out the pics. IMHO I think dark (black) wheels look killer on any truck.

Not the same truck, but a few of my friends have black wheels on a black truck. Looks functional, but not "good" imo... no contrast.

A set of polished aluminum wheels looks REALLY nice on a dark street truck IMO... especially a Dually... the deep dish on the rear is just bad azz, especially with some 19.5's. shiny wheels and a shiny exhaust on a dark truck is niiice.

those 19.5's are cool but rather pricey! plus i don't tow nothing heavy so they'd be for looks. the website said your tires will get better mileage too. hmm if i could get 100K out of a set it would be worth it!!!!

I'm looking to do black on black also. I'll probably get my existing rims powdercoated for now.

brand-x, how did those 19.5's affect your truck? they seem to be heavier, does it affect braking? or is it not even noticeable? i really like those but they are quite pricey. the website claims you get better mileage from them, would you agree? the black ones with the silver lip are bad, used to have rims like that on a black car. anyway, did you get a tire and wheel package, and if so how much did it cost you?
