Black wheels have been around for over 100+ years I’m not sure we can call that a fad. If my old pal google is correct chrome plating wheels is actually a newer option.
I also searched for super duty chrome package and found a bunch of trucks 23+ with chrome wheels.

Black wheels are being used by manufacturers now more than ever in a near instant surge, so yes, they are the current fad (or if it makes you feel better, call it a 'trend'). White wheels were a thing too...

I simply mentioned black wheels have been around longer than chrome and that the super duty lineup still in fact has chrome options.
Since 2023 they literally have offered black, chrome, a brushed aluminum look on the limited trucks, the silver painted on the 18” lariat wheels, etc. I mean there’s quite honestly not a wheel color they don’t offer from what I see.
Local to me I see a few chrome wheel 23+ super duty trucks. One in particular is the sta white metallic in lariat trim with chrome package. Really clean looking truck.
Basically just not sure wtf your post was even about because it lacked any sort of fact behind it. But carry on pal.

If you're trying to stick with OEM your best bet would be to look around on eBay. At least just to see what wheel you are after. Does seem like there were more chrome wheels in years past. But there were quite a few good looking options from previous model years.

Ah yes. The old white spoked "wagon wheel" of my youth in the 80's. Now more commonly seen on trailers.

Dark Carbonized is also another non-black alternative. Its benefits include less apparent brake dust accumulation.

I believe the EPA put a hurting on domestic chrome shops here quite a while ago, so most people restoring old vehicles either had to send their parts to Mexico for plating, or buy crappy China replacements.
