Too bad. You have one of the best looking trucks ever made and part of that is due to the CHROME

Don't do it!!!
You have a nice looking F150 there, plus you have no black on your truck to even go with the black or partly black rims.
I have Dick Cepek DC-2 rims on my F150, but mine is a smoke metallic grey and black two tone.

I have Dick Cepek DC-2 rims. I don't think you have enough black to pull off black rims. Personally I like the setup you already have. Just do a leveling kit and 33" tires on your factory rims, if it was me.

Just plain black steel wheels I agree but the others it depends on the truck. I think mine looks better with the black rims

I did the exact same thing on my 93 and it looked great, but that truck was a black XL and I had also painted the grille and bumpers black which made it look like a Nite edition. I still say nothing looks better than those stock aluminum wheels on the XLTs.
