My 06 Ram is white with black coated rims and black door handles.

I want now some nerf bars and a bull bar.

What you think, should I get the bars in black coated colours to keep the nice black/white contrast or should I go with chrome and also get some chrome door handles?

I like black and white WAY better than white and chrome. The good thing is, it will cost you less, as you already have black handles.

People on this forum plastidip their chrome parts to get black...

Yeah that was also my thoughts about it.

But i find way more pics of white/chrome rams than white/blacks.

Are there some pics of these combinations?

Go with what you would prefer. I like the black look, but that's just me.

The common theme will be black, this is why I would say chrome. I am going to black out some of my chrome on the granite, but leave some just to make sure its not like everyone elses...

Did you ever get your wheels swapped out?

Nope , I'm thinking of maybe keeping the chrome clads for winter wheels and when i install my lift I'll get some cool black wheels !
BUT I'm still interested to trade for black wheels 17 X 9 if anyone is interested.

My wheels are still in perfect condition
20 X 9 chrome clads , 2014 model .

Do both!



but in all seriousness, small touches of chrome on a white truck look great like door handles and wheels, with little to no other black on it. But past that, black and white look better, imho. good luck in your choice!

I think a mixture as well because too much black makes it look like a base model work truck.

mines white and chrome.i added a black box winch carrier and it doesn't look right against the grille.it's coming off and i'm switching to a chrome trans4mer setup instead.even my black nerf bars don't look right,but they were dealer installed so they stay until i dent the **** out of them. plus my camper is white with 2 tone grey grafix and it sets off well with chrome.

Be sure to tint the windows and really add to that slick black white combo!
