Question Color Scheme Help - Go Black?

So I am contemplating going with a black toolbox and black wheels. It isn't something that I would do right away but I know that eventually I will be running 18" wheels instead of 16"s. I was looking at my truck and thought that it would look good. It would leave only the bumpers, running boards, grill (outside of it), and of course the exhaust tip chrome. After spray on bed lining my mirrors, bed rail caps and outside plastics I thought it might be a good choice. Here is my truck as of yesterday. Tell me what you guys think...

I like shiny stuff...but I do think black would look good on your truck.
I would go with black wheels with hints of chrome. All black would be too dark with your dark green paint.
Just my .02

Hey good call. I didn't even think about that. That way It would really match up with the left over chrome. Thanks! Your truck looks great frank. I like the cab lights but I am definitely too chicken chit to do that myself for the time being. Anybody else have suggestions/opinions?

Anybody know of some wheels that fit this description?

I'm actually contimplating going with black with chrome accect D. Cepek's #2's, wanted the #1's but their discontinued but my truck is white. Just plan it out thoughtfully and you'll look good, the truck looks sharp now by the way.

I like the blacked out look. If I could I would paint my truck flat black.

I am on a quest to rid my truck of chrome.

These ones? They are Sick! And might I add your truck is lookin sharp too mike. You guys and your cab lights. I am jealous of your gauges as well.

I really like them. How do I know how much backspacing and offset I want? Can someone explain to me how those work? my 34" 315-75-r16's rub a little right now when I'm turned all the way to the left and I would like to eliminate that even with 35" tires on these wheels (18"). How Do I go about doing this? Here are the available options:

I'm still tryin to find out what the actual price tag is on these ones. I'm a little scared to be honest.

Hey Spooly, IMO I think your truck looks really sharp. Stylish deep green of the body is nicely off set by the shine of your existing alloy wheels. I'd save your black wheel money for the gauges that you want and swap out the amber indicators out for a crystal set.
