| Why do just powder coat the alum ones you have black or get them without the street lock look.

| If I had to choose between black and silver, my vote is silver. But why limit it to just those two? Just painted mine ultra flat Khaki and I really like how it looks on my rig

| I have toyed with this question many times myself. Black looks meaner, silver more classy. My only fear with black is that it may become trendy. So for now I vote silver.  | |

| I think with your dark brown the black wheels win hands down. Black wheels have been trendy for some time, but they're both rugged and sexy. They're also classic like Levis and a white Tshirt. Ask me how I know.

| I was throwing the idea around as well, then I washed my cruiser and the Chrome was just so shiny and classy looking... so I vote silver.

| Black vs Silver –
It’s a tough call. I always wanted to paint my stock chrome rims black. I voted black in the poll, but silver rims look real good to.
I went with a little of both.. 
Not the best shot but there are more in the links in my sig.
