Finding a wheel that I like that has a 0 offset isn't looking so good, so what would be the next best offset if I plan on running 33s with a 2" leveling kit?

Check out Moto metals, mines 20x9 with 0 offset.

I to think black has been played out. This fad is going on at least 9 years so I think its time for something new as a fad.
For anyone who uses their truck for work/off reading/ gravel roads in general. The black wheels are not so much a fad as they are a functional aspect. Polished or chromed wheels prove very difficult to get clean (and by clean I mean shiny and spotless), black wheels are much easier, because little specs of dirt will not show, so even though it might not be 100% clean, it appears as though it were. Of course there are 'those' people who put black wheels on because it's popular. So having black wheels will make you look like one of 'those' people.

Also, a lot ofpeople run steel wheels because they're cheap, but unless you paint it, they rust and look terrible, and black is one of the only colors that don't make your car look like a clown car.

Just my opinion of course

Agree.

I've had chrome wheels. In MY opinion....black wheels just look better. I think the blingy-chrome wheels became "played out" hence why dudes started Rollin with the black.

As for being one of "those" people.....I chose mine cause I think they look badass.....not because of their popularity.

I really like my Fuel Vapors. I detailed the center caps with red to cover the chrome.

You make a good point as well, if any style should take the name of played out, I think chrome should be it. I've dethroned my badges so far, and am working (very slowly) on paint matching my bumpers and grille.

At the end of the day it comes down to what you prefer though. One shouldn't stay away from what they want because they're going to get flak for it.
