chrome, never a fan of the blacked out look, too teenager looking for me, but to each his own. the worst is a high dollar beemer or mercedes with black wheels, makes it look like it needs a wash to me.

true, the fact that you are 16 is kind of ironic though, lol

The fact that you're 62 might show that you aren't up on the times. So to each their own. Ya blacked out wheels are coming in a little, but every young person from here to Alaska wants some form of chromed out non-sense. I agree that a blacked out black truck is overkill, but his is blue. Blue and black will always be a killer combo. Looking at the little bit of truck he has shown us, I'd say either will work, but black would be best. His rims aren't chromed, his handles aren't chromed, and I'm guess his bumpers are color matched or black.

Basically just go through the member albums and look for a truck that resembles your color and see what you like best! Its your truck man, do it up!

My truck wouldn't be half of what it is today if I had just done what others thought was "cool" or "looked good". I love that blue, keep us posted!

I'm going with black chrome accents on my truck, but it's white. Ur dark blue truck especially being a sport would pop out and look amazing with chrome. But with black you would have a really clean low profile look. So what do you want your truck to say? Are you mr show up and steal the show or mr. Roll up not be noticed at first but then all of a sudden 100 people are around saying WOW it's clean? Vehicles reflect there owners personaltys. Sorry guys didn't mean to steal the thread.
