Default What is your take on black wheels?

**Edit** For those that don't read the whole thread before posting, I bit the bullet and went with the black wheels, you can see them in this post


I am curious what everyone things of black wheels these days. I am thinking about getting a set for my truck, so I thought I would get some opinions.

This is the truck, fender flares will be removed:



Here is a picture of the wheel I am looking at:




Wheels are 22x9.5 with 20mm offset. Tires in the package deal are 305/40/22. Do you think this package would fit my needs? I am currently lowered 2/4 and have no rubbing issues with my current 20's(275/45/20), not sure of the wheel stats though.

Thoughts?

I like black wheels but i don't know how much I would like them on a bright yellow truck.

maybe someone can photoshop you a pic just to let you see of what they would look like on yours.

I really like mine.... but they do wear on you... first picture is of when I got mine... Second picture is what they look like now. I actually made some decals to dress the plain black up a little bit.

That's how I feel, they look great on some trucks and out of place on others. They might work on your truck Neverdone, since you have the black stripes...just my opinion. I'd definitely get a good photoshop done first.

I'm not a fan of black wheels at all. IMO it looks as if your riding on spare tires.
