When I get my tax return this year I'm getting a new set of SRT reps for my truck but I'm undecided what wheel finish I want: chrome, gloss back, or the black machined.
My truck will have the sport bumpers on it down the road, chrome is on for now. Looking for opinions right now.

Gloss black....as long as you don't wait too long for the sport bumpers.

Edit: I know it's a 3rd gen but still...

I've always liked the black machines but I don't think they would look good on my truck. On yours I think they would look good since there is still some machining on the wheels to go with the other chrome on your truck

Black machined or gloss black. There's also a nice set of red caliper covers on either ebay or amazon to complete the look....the price isn't so nice at $200 though. Just tell yourself they are functional and reduce brake dust on your new wheels.

Machined would look better IMO, sport bumpers are gonna be paint matched right?

Yes fellas they'll be color matched lol but thanks for the opinions! I was thinking more on it and was torn between gloss or machined, I'll have red calipers with them as well so it'll help pop the wheels a bit more. I've seen very few 4th gens with machined reps so I may just go that route and be a tad different there.

Machined or chrome. Too many people are going with black wheels these days.

Anyone here pretty good with photoshopping? Never done it before but I was wondering if somebody could just put a pair of machined srt reps on my truck for a better look, thank you if someone is up to the task.

Many of the wheel manufacturers websites have wheel visualizers so you can look at their wheels on your truck.

You might try that.

I'll have to buy out of state im sure but there seem to be alot of clean ones, I'm after an 06 though so that may be tough.
