for me... i am going for a very specific look... military... i camp / hunt / ride / play with guns...
once all this paint gets scratched up... i will being going with a flat OD paint to replace it... and maybe a .50 cal up top...
oh yeah... and brake dust pisses me off almost as much as uber expensive "dust free" brake pads

I have a black Jk with a descent amount of chrome, lights, side mirror covers, tail light covers, but I would never dream of putting chrome rims on her. I'm saving up a black pair with a touch of chrome mainly to distance myself from the yahoos around here with 22 inch chrome rims on chevy suburbans and shit like that. My cousin keeps telling me to get 22 inch chromes and THEN my Jk will "hot". But no way in hell am I doing that to my baby.

.......if you are broke down in the middle of nowhere your bling bling will not get you home, but that heavy duty part you should have bought might

For me, it all depends on the vehicle. Black says sporty to me. I went from this 600HP Trailblazer SS:
To this:
But more people liked the Traiblazer with the shiny wheels than they did the black ones. Go figure.

I like both black and chrome or aluminum wheels. I'm stuck on whether to get black or machine finish on the KMC Enduro's I'm planning on. New jeep will be white. I like the black for ease of maintenance, and wife wants black, but I've seen a lot of white TJ's with aluminum wheels and like that look. I don't care for chrome on a 4x4, but I have enough on the Harley that its started falling off on the freeway.

I like the price!! I paid like 68.00 EA for my 17's and I think they look great. Not to mention they are one hell of a strong wheel. Im sure I'll be touching them up quite a bit though, but hey with the black color, I can use a sharpie! Off point, but Ive used a black sharpie to touch up my black hardtop numerous times...
