I think it looks better to have a bit of chrome or brushed aluminum type accents when you have chrome bumpers. Otherwise you get the cop car look with black/steel wheels. If you have body painted bumpers then its a different story.

I bought the rims that come with the Canadian Sport trim. You can check out my profile pic for a peek. These rims only officially come with body painted bumpers but I like the effect here too with chrome bumpers.

I think it will look great.

That is pretty much a picture of my truck, same color and night edition wheels. I did swap out the chrome lug nuts for all-black so if you need some chrome lug nuts, they are sitting in my basement workshop.

Nice choice on colors.
It was between silver, granite and steel in my colors. I went with the silver as I feel it holds up the best over time as I am a forever owner. Might have gone granite though if I had seen that combo. A new Ram parked next to me at Home Depot only a month or so ago and saw it in person.

It was a "love [affair] at first sight" but I'm very faithful to my Ram.

Thanks for the offer on the lug nuts but I'm set with back up already from a Limited's wheel buy.
Get many compliments? That is a good combo.

I actually liked the silver Night Edition slightly better but this had pretty much all of the features that I wanted and was on the lot at the dealer willing to give me the best deal.

They are sharp trucks no matter what paint color.

I didn't want ANY chrome, just not a big fan of the chrome. The blacked out everything looks great IMHO.

Not necessarily a chrome package, but my GCM has some chrome on it. My wheels have black and gray, though I changed my silver lugs to black

Personally I think black wheels look a little off with a truck that has chrome on the body. But don’t listen to me, I’m just a ding dong with zero fashion sense. Ask my wife.

There are plenty of black wheels with machined accents that would compliment your chrome. Take a look at the gallery on the Custom Offsets website.

I agree with Idahoktm. Go for a 2-tone machine look vs all black. IMO I would go with an all chrome wheel before all black.

I too am looking for new rims to replace the 20" chrome clad that came with my Billet Bighorn. If I was going to upgrade to 22's, I would consider chrome, or black with accents. However, I think the 20's look a bit small, and black would make the wheelwell a bit more full. I also have the black running boards, tinted windows, so I think it would look fine, IMHO.
