    Well, I just went ahead and replaced my chrome wheel covers with black ones, although they are shiny black ones.

    I am an Gen X'er and grew up liking chrome and I didn't get the black wheel craze and still think it is overdone. For whatever reason I just decided to go black and they are just $100 wheel covers. I am saving up for a set of titanium or gunmetal aftermarket wheels someday.

    The one thing I don't like about these is that I think they make the tires look small (33's) and the front end look lower even though I only have a 1.5 rake front to back. I think I need Billsteins for the front now.

    Looks good. Something about the Tundra just looks better with dark wheels.
    Except the silver ones. Those look better with chrome.

    My opinion was brought to you at no cost but I do charge $25 to anyone that disagrees. :rofl:
