    There’s lots of better looking black wheels out there in my opinion such as the ones from American Racing, and Mayhem. If I ever make enough money that I need to spend it on senseless aesthetics it will be on one of those. Black wheels are getting overused, but a nice looking set really kill it. Much prefer them over polished.

    I’m 100% on board for black wheels on all personal vehicles, but against it on trucks. I think it looks tacky and will be ridiculously hard to keep from chipping.

    I had dura-brights on my 2003 and those babies looked flawless and always shiny. Not sure how people had complaints with them. My new truck has regular aluminum rims and it looks horrible unless you want to polish them all the time. Current ones are so bad they probably need sanding.

    I think that’s pretty bad ### looking. I’d love to see a 680 blacked out like that. I was going to do the black wheels, black grill, tinted windows, with red as the color.

    Decided to go with the standard wheels as the black was a $1600 upgrade. Maybe sometime in the future.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I think that truck will get pulled over so many times. The Law would love that very much.

    Personally I'll take my wheels aluminum as it is in matte. The chrome bright work on the radiator and such can be blacked out.

    The more I look at what they are doing to new trucks these days the more I am half tempted just to buy a older iron in spite of.
