The all-black look DOES look pretty sexy on tacos doesn't it?

Ahem, uh yeah I just touch up my lug nuts up as they need it. Once a month is about all they require, depending on the frequency of pulling wheels off and/or going off-roading.

Ahem, thanks for clarifying...

I'll probably feel different after total dechroming, but I kinda dig the way the chrome nuts stand out against the black. I'm probably gonna do it eventually, but now that I got rid of the chrome centers and painted the weights, the chrome nuts don't really bother me.

Just remember...once you get steelies, the mods will never stop.

I think chrome nuts on black wheels look good. Nice truck!

I agree, i think chrome lugs look really good, espically when the wheel is muddy and the chome lugs make a chorme rig on the hwy.

While I'm a big fan of silver vehicle - black/anthracite wheels color scheme, I'm just not a fan of regressing and removing aluminum wheels to put steel wheels on. If it is a lateral move (replacing steel with steel), then I understand.

I bought aftermarket alum wheels a few years back. 16x8's. Now I just think they look funny on my rig, and will be selling them this summer and getting steelies. I cant decide if I am going to go 16x8(7) or 15x8(7), but I will be running steelies.... I think they look better on a toy, espically a lifted one.
