Side steps. Chrome or Black

Hey, I have a 97' Ford Ranger XLT Supercab 2-door. It is White with Black and grey trim. Which do you think would look better, Black or Chrome side steps? I think Chrome. Anyone know anywhere I can get them cheap

I personally think the chrome are a bit much. I just ordered a pair of black Grizzly's for my '98 B3000 extended cab from J C Whitney. $214 total including shipping!!

i had bad experience with black. DeeZee nerf bars, Chrome, are lifetime warranted against rust, the black isnt. my black got chipped and than i guess with the salt in the winter or just the dirt or rain they rusted out so. with a white truck i think the chrome would look great.

Definitely go with black. If you really want the finish to last, have them sprayed with Line-X or use the Duplicolor spray bed liner http://www.duplicolor.com/products/truckbed.html
