i'm getting tired of the chrome look. i don't think it really looks good anymore, especially since i don't have the grille. so i plan on murdering out my tahoe. and just leave the chrome bumper trim. what do you guys recommend for black rims?

LoL dude you can't really hate on Toyota as the Seqouia with just the 4.7L engine and a heavier curb weight can burn the 07-Up Tahoes anyday anywhere (fam has one). They also don't have excessivly noisey doors and a rusted driveshaft at 5000 miles (not really a big deal) like my Tahoe, now I'm at 20k miles.
I would still choose my Tahoe anyday though.....
Back to topic, I say black it out. Should look good if done right.
Like said above, you can paint your 20s or get KMC Slide wheels. Lorenzo also makes good all black wheels.

Do it! I am serously thinking about painting mine too. I recently watched some cool youtube videos of people painting there wheels. It is pretty cheap and easy to do. They make special wheel spray paint that can handle heat. Look into it if you don't want to drop a lot of cash. Murder time...

Dude don't use rattly srpay on wheels......it wheel for sure mess up over time and look cheesy.
Just pay the extra $300 to $500 and get it done good and right with clear coat and everything.

+1 on the slides hahahah

i would die for your rims. i want em! any part numbers or something you can refer me to so i can check into them?

also what do you guys think about leaving a bold chrome accent but murder out the rest? meaning the roof rack...it'll be hard for me to see my hoe without it.

or i could paint my front bowtie black, but get a chrome grille, and red DRL's.

so many options...but i still haven't got that stupid forklift hole taken care of yet.

you can have them powder coated for about 95.00 each and they will look awesome. paint will scratch and chip. if you have any plastic you want painted black you need to tell the painter you want them to clear coat the sh*t out of it so it doesnt chip/flake.

I've said this before in another thread the Giovanna Dalar 6 wheels are sick and they have a silver accent, everything is matte so nothing is too shiney. IMO full on blacked out is getting a little played. I love the look but it is getting really popular. I'm working on getting all my chrome powder coated with a matte finish and having body color accents just to get away form full on glossy black out.....just my .02

Ack! No! If you're going to leave a chrome accent, don't let it be the roof rack. It's up too high, and it's not a design component per se. It'll have people wondering why you didn't black it out also.

You can always black IT out, too. I've seen that done, and it looks great. You still get the overall affect of the Esky rack, but it'll match the theme of the rest of the truck.
