Have the "stainless" on my 05, really sets it off, nice thing also is there is no drilling to put them on, bad thing is, if you ding one, you will have to buy all 4, brother in law just found out as he put a ding in one of his. My 05 is a DRW.

oh, never thought about that!! what's your take on the chrome? I know that they say chrome rims have the chance of flaking, I wonder if the trim has the possibility to do the same? If my wheels are chrome should I stick with the chrome trim so the look is the same? (more shiney???)

Will check when I get home later this week and see if I can email it to you. I also believe a guy I work with might have a new set he didnt install on his superduty(bought a new F150) still in the box. Will also pm you with that info if interested.

My thought on the chrome are bad, live in snow, salt part of the country, any thing chrome here is bad, bad chrome job, bad cleaning before chroming the part, in fact a lot of people that have chrome rims take them off in the winter season for that reason, to much chance of going bad in the winter, just stay with stainless when and where ever you can.
did I say, salt, calicum, snow and anything else they can put on the roads for traction and to melt the ice, snow, and cinders the size of large Marbles, these work great on Windshields, works very well on Chrome also.

thanks guys for the input! My husband ordered a set for me for my b-day, 
not sure if they are chrome or stainless, do they look the same or are the chrome more shiney??? Have no snow in Vegas, so shouldn't have to worry about salt and stuff... I'll have to make sure if we take her up to the mountain they get polished as soon as we get home!!!

I have the QMI brand on my 1996 F-250, which I bought from JC Whitney. They are polished 304 stainless steel, so there's no chrome plating, at least not on these. You really can't go wrong with polished 304. I have pictures in my gallery.

thanks guys, both trucks look great!!!
*skipperw, did you have to do any drilling with your TFP's I hear that they are supposed to be drill less, but a lot of people have actually had to drill them in. also, I noticed that you changed out your gas door, any suggestions? I was thinking about the AMI...
