Dark Charcoal - Best rim colour?
Hi All, I'm putting together the wish list of components for my build and can't decide what colour rims I like on my dark charcoal Jeep. I like the look of satin black, but can't decide if that will look odd, considering the Jeep is 'almost black'. Maybe I should be sticking with chrome or a satin silver?
If you've changed the colour of your rims on a dark charcoal Jeep, please post pics...

I have a dark charcoal as well and have been thinking about the same thing. Since it's not black it really isn't blacked out but I hate chrome. I have been looking at the ATX Thug and the Crawl. I think both will look great on the charcoal.

My wife's Jeep is dark charcoal as well and have been thinking about the same thing for when we decide to change them. Black Chrome might not look bad. Some think chrome is a pain to keep clean however I generally keep my Jeep clean anyway even after I cover it in 1" of mud. My neighbors most likely hate me when I clean it when I have 40lbs of mud in the street 
. But I do clean it up after it drys.

Hmmm - I do like that. I'm also thinking about maybe Tungsten? I don't want bright chrome for sure, and I love the ease of use and repainting for black rims. I just don't want the body colour to look 'off black'. I need to work on my wife as well - she is pushing for silver/chrome, and I for black. I'm hoping if I can get some good pictures of charcoal with black rims I can convince her (and myself).
Thanks for the idea's - keep them coming!
