im thinking black just cause it looks so plain and stock... everyone has them on a unmodded truck if them came on it...

I guess to each their own but IMO it looks like a$$. Nevertheless, I wouldnt think chrome ones would look any better and I understand swapping them out for winter. Any way to get some cheap black steel wheels??

i dont know how you think a steel wheel would look better than the stocker 20's.... but thats your opinion. my fuels stick 2-3" outside the wheel well and i cant kill my paint.

I would say that stockers are probably a cost effective solution and will do the job for the season.

Black looks terrible!

I leave my fuels on all winter iv had two different set. If your worrying about the finish on our wheels, I wouldnt. I didnt have one flaw after last winter. A cool thing i also noticed about our fuel wheels is all the bolts in the rim come off easy!! the ones around the lip are torx and unthread and at least on my hostages the big fake bolts inside the rim just clip in they pop right out. I'm going to get them powder coated something different next summer. And I like the stockers black on the red trucks like yours.

im not worried about the finish, i try and keep the truck clean. but im worried about my paint. my 10 wides and offset throw a lot of stuff up the side of my truck. they stick out almost 3" i wanna go as long as i can keeping factory paint very nice.
