My opinion is that some color trucks just don't look right w/ chrome or polished wheels. I put on my buddies billet 22's before I bought my wheels. As soon as they were on I knew it didn't work for me, that's why I got black center/polished lip wheels. I think w/ your racing stripes black wheels would look good on that truck. I have 305/40/22's and have a rub in reverse a couple of times a week.
Don't listen to what we say, put somebodys chrome or polished wheels on, if you don't like it you know you need the black.

personally i think that black wheels look good. Great on some trucks, awful on others. i think personal judgment is the biggest factor when buying black wheels. car manufacturers are starting to put 20" wheels on suvs and trucks more often now but they are all polished or chrome and there is a reason for that. most suvs and trucks you see are bone stock, stock height with rake of 2" in the rear, stock trim and accessories, and if you were to stick a pair of black rims on them as is, it would look terrible. on the other hand, these guys( aka spoolin, turbocoop, and others) have excellent looking trucks, some of the best. for the most part, it was very wise choices on wheels, but very much to do with a "blackout" theme, or because their trucks are sittin on the ground a mean stance. Its really hot or cold, you be the judge.

IMO, i think black wheels became the new rave since the 96 Grand Sport Corvette came stock with them. Therefore, i think GM vehicles look better with them.
