Default With or without flares?

I took off one side of my fender flares today to see what it would look like. I'm not real sure which one I like better. Both look good to me and have their own style. Take a look and let me know what you think. Keep in mind that I will be putting on a painted front bumper cover.



Without.






After my tires wear out I will be going with 18's, but i'm not sure if they will be chrome or black powder coated. I really like black wheels, but just don't know if my truck can pull it off. Here is a pic that someone did of black wheels on my truck. I know this is a lot of different options, but help me out as much as you can.

I think it would look good if you color matched the flares, especially since you are a 4x4.....or is it a lifted 2wd?

if you wanna keep that pretty blue on your truck, you'll keep the flares and maybe colormatch...but the black looks good w/ all of your other black too....either way i say keep the flares to keep the paint...

Don't mean to high-jack your thread, but if you decide to get rid of your fender flares I would be intereted in them... send me a p.m. if you would like to off load the parts.

Colormatch the flares and do the wheels black. Either way your truck looks sick.
