What wheels should I buy?

Black would be my choice. I had chrome on my Jeep Wrangle Unlimited and ya always had to worry about damaging the look. Black is worry-free.

 

What are you going to be using these for. Are the American Baja wheels polished aluminum or chromed?

 

are they going on the truck in your avatar?
id go for the chrome

 

I like black, but the chrome would probably look sharper on your rig. Your already dreamin about wheels? Do you have the axles mounted?

 

I can't believe no one said it already...

"once you go black, you never go back!"


I like the look of black on these trucks as it really adds to the off-road appearance. But the polished would really pop on your blue truck.

Tough choice...

 

Greg, The polls a dead heat.
Guess that means you do one side in black, one side in aluminum

 

Here's a vote for aluminum!

the soft 8's will be a lot easier to weld beadlocks on

 

i just dont think the black will suit the colour of your truck unless it had a polished lip?

 

With the tire you are going with I would go with the black.

 

Well, you don't want all that stuff to clash with your shiny new wheels. I say have the tool box, bumpers and frame chrome dipped. Problem solved!

...and send the bill to someone else...

I would go with the steel for off roading. you can touch up the rims if they start to look shoddy. There is a little bit of shine to the center cap and lugnuts.

 

agreed! but still would be mad to see black wheels with a polish lip

 

I have to amend my choice. With balck and those wheels I guess you are not going to be drving on the streets. With chrome you are going to polish them alot. Just my opinion.

 

I like them both, I think the best way to decide and copy and paste the rims on a large picture of your truck. Maybe someone here knows how to do that and see it first before spending the money. I know the rims shops have that service for cars.

Worst case buy the chrome and if you don't like have them powedercoated gloss black and leave some chrome lip on them like advised here before

 

Well lets see some pics? I really want to see what they look like. Heck if you get tired of the black you can send them out to chrome

 

hey Greg
our those tires for a skid steer loaded...these are going to look crazy on your jeep...you got to put pictures up when you get it all together. i picked black.

Gotta get the bright orange 16.5" steelies for a Bobcat.

 

We've got some tires on our Bobcat that have a cool non-chevron style tread block. They last a long time on asphalt. They look kind of like the middle tire in this picture, but the tread blocks are larger.
