For a truck, I'd go all black, but my initial instinct was the one with the silver rim.

I'm really on the fence about it...and your logic is exactly my thinking as well. I'm kind of drawn to the polished edge, but my practical side leans toward the all black.

I looked at the rims before I looked at the vehicle, then changed my mind.

Classic III

Both look good but ......

it's still a truck. Shit happens and an all black wheel will be easier to blend than the polished edge.

I'm not a fan of black wheels, but I guess if I had to pick one, I'd go with # 2.

I'd prefer to see some polished aluminum or chrome wheels oNN it, though.

If you want black, just paint the OEMs, save money. You can't see the detail on a black wheel anyway.
