    Installed my 2007 BBS 20" wheels on the 21 Pro after painting them dark charcoal, I like them but now waffling between the charcoal and satin black. What does the hive mind thing before I pull them back off and go black ???20210218_081432.jpg 20210218_081451.jpg

    I like what you've done. What you have will probably look cleaner longer. Black shows dirt/dust pretty readily. With the black wheel and black lugs, you'll lose the contrast unless you go with chrome lugs which you likely won't do because, as far as I can see from your pics, you don't have any other chrome. Stick with what you have is my opinion. :thumbsup:

    Also, if your tires/wheel combo are too close to the same shade, they can get lost in each other. What you've done is subtly highlighted the wheels.

    I like it a lot. In a sea of black wheels, it's good to be a little different. Charcoal and white are always an excellent combination. 20" wheel in that style fits the truck nicely.

    That looks really good. I wouldn't change it.......but if I did I would powder coat it white. That would really look good but the brake dust would be a :censored:.

    Don't change a thing. They are unique in charcoal. When you paint them black its harder to see the detail of those awesome rims. Nice job

    I like the charcoal better than black. Seems way too many people have black wheels and the charcoal is nice and different.

    Nah, that color is perfect. Larger tires would look even better though.

    I think they both look great, but if it were me I'd keep the black. It matches all the other black trim pieces.

    They do say that, "once you go black you never go back" You'll have to find our for yourself. Bronze looks good with some bigger tires in my humble opinion.

    Another vote for charcoal. They are good looking wheels and black wheels tend to disappear and you don't see what they look like unless the light is right or you are up close.

    I think the black takes away from the detail of the wheel and cheapens the look a bit IMO.

    I like the charcoal, too.

    Nice contrast between black tires and white truck.

    Any color other than black, I like them lighter. Never have been a fan of black wheels.
