Black or Chrome rims with level or lift

[fltekdiver]

I'm still researching leveling vs actual small lift 2" to 3"-1/2
However I'm torn between black rims such as Tis, or
There chrome rims

I'm really torn between the 2

Thinking of also somewhat negative offset around -18 to -26 depending on what I decide to do between leveling or lifting

Any suggestions? I could debadge the chrome emblems and order black ones, but I kinda like the metallic dark grey with the chrome on this truck

I cant stand Black wheels. There are 10 million trucks around that look exactly alike.

If you're asking for an opinion (and you'll get a bunch) I would stick with chrome. I plan on lowering mine at least in the front because I don't like steps. Whatever you do don't let anyone change your own taste, they're not going to help you pay for it. LOL, Your truck looks great to me! Again, JMO!

Thanks good advice

for your truck, chrome. I think the factory wheels look good as is. But with all that chrome, chrome.

Good looking truck BYW!

Black with milled spoke areas.
Years ago no one had black and it was polished or chrome, now theres a ton of black even from factory. To me it just looks meaner lol

That's what I was thinking
Black with milled accent like the TIS 544 I think is their rim.part #
I'm just wondering how hard the Chrome would be to keep clean

I can only speak for myself but chrome for me is easier to keep clean. I personally have always thought black was the hardest color to keep clean. I got rid of a black vehicle I had for that reason but it is beautiful when it's clean especially with chrome! Once again..... Just my opinion.

I know what you mean
Here's a black 2020 Ram 1500 Classic lifted I just sold to buy this ram with black TIS rims, I debadged the chrome and changed all the emblems to black after taking the pics:

stay with chrome, or get something with some chrome in them. Maybe black rims with chrome accents. It will match the rest of your truck. I have a black truck with black wheels and I don't like it.

If you do decide to go black, I'll let you have mine if we can make a fair trade.

Also, since we're throwing opinions at you, I would have to buy a set of wheels that matched on each side. Meaning I couldnt stand the passenger side rotation going one way, and the driver side rotation going the other.

Any time I see wheels that have a rotation pattern to them I rubber neck to see what the other side of the truck looks like just to see if the wheels match or not.

But you can only see one side at a time

What I tell my customers that are on the fence. Get the ones you’ll clean and maintain

Not a fan of black rims. Too many on the road. I went with a titanium grey Method MR704.

I bought my truck used, from a place 800 north up on Utah. There were two things I didn't like about it. 1.) it's black and 2.) it's got black wheels.

Interesting how many people are against black rims now
I agree I don't like all black rims at all
But black rims with grey milling look really good
I'm still undecided on the leveling vs lift , and on the rims and tires
I actually like the rims I have now
Just wish they had some negative off set look to then

I have a leveling kit on my truck and a 1.5" body lift. I have yet to take photos. Black rims with the aluminum milling IS choice.
