I've gone back and forth among several sets of wheels in various finishes, but I'm really leaning towards the 22in SS replicas now.

I'm still battling my lukewarm feelings on chrome wheels, so I'm curious as to what you think:

22in Chrome SSs

or

22in Comp Grey SSs:

Going on a dark gray Denali, so I'm just not sure how the comp grey would look.
Looks killer on "Rob's Hoe" (the G5 tails thread that's bouncing around in here). But his ride is a better color for them, I think.

My Denali:

Thoughts? Go...

What finish are the accent pieces (rack, door handles, etc.) on your truck? There's your answer. :)

SW CT,
for that color and if you are planning on leaving all the chrome accents then without a doubt CHROME.

If you want to do the Comp Grey, you'd have to remove all your chrome trim or else nothing will match.

If you go the Chrome route, it'll all match & you wouldn't need to do anything.

ok... Gray vehicles with gray wheels simply dont go. There are too many shades of gray out there, it will not look right. It will make it look like you "attempted" to color match them and failed. Seriously, run the chrome. You'll be ALOT happier.
