i kinda like black. Both of those wheels look really good though!

Good Luck
CP :)
 






Go chrome, cause I already have the black ones. You can be the first to have the chrome:)
 






I personally don't like black rims unless they are rockcrawlers on a trail rig. I prefer chrome, or the aluminum like the "deer hooves" on my Sport.
 






Those are rockcrawlers.
 






Yup...... sure are. My mistake. Well then....... if its' a trail rig------black
Street------ chrome. LOL
 






This is the rig they will go on. :cool:

It's on the street mostly, but she is getiing 33's and bumpers will be replased next problay, with a offroad look (tupe or square)
 






Go with the black. I'm thinkin about puttin me some black rock crawlers on too.
 






Black, cause your trim is black.
 






I voted black but then I saw your ex-- it might look better with the chrome since the ex is all white.
I love black rims though, and plan on getting some as soon as I have the money.
 






oops, I didn't see how old this was--- you probably already got your rims huh?
what did you get?

They look fantastic on your X.
By the way, whats that, like a 3 1/4" BS, or 3 3/4"?
Those bad boys are sticking out real nice. Looks great.

looks really good man.

Im a fan of the all black with blacked out off-road tires too ;)

I still love that look, but I still always want to keep my white letters, that's just me. Looks great though, I totally forgot about this thread, and the others about your wheel choice. Great to see some results!
 






when tires are getting 33's or bigger in size, white lettering starts to look bad... cause the letters get big enough for people to see from 1/2mile away.

And also- if he took a close shot of his tires you'd see how the tread goes into the sidewall...

hence:
big offroad tires = no white letters and big tread
normal tires = white letters (but keep the white clean :p )
 






I guess it all depends, on the tires/rim/vehicle. I think his look great. Just some vehicles I think would look better if they put the white on the outside. Honestly I can't think of many vehicles with 33"s + with the whites on the outside, I guess there is a reason for that.
