New Rims-Black Or Polished?
I'm thinkin' about gettin' some new rims for my '04 Ranger, but I can't decide whether to get black rims or polished rims. Here's a picture of the ones I'm thinkin' about gettin', both black and polished, along with a picture of my truck. What do you guys think?

Blacks easier to keep clean. Polished aluminum gets dirty quick and will loose it's shine unless you want to keep polishing them. I have Mickey Thompson classics and I'm debating between polishing them or having them powder coated.

Re: New Rims-Black Or Polished?
I vote black, I like black rims, and they'd look great on your truck.

I have some wheels that look similar to those. The matte black is really easy to clean.

Re: New Rims-Black Or Polished?
Thanks for the opinions guys, I might go with black mainly 'cause I'm also gettin' a black Aries grille guard.

Re: New Rims-Black Or Polished?
Be unique and different, go polished. The only reason my "wheels" are black, are because of my winters. Make sure you get the rest of the wheel with the rim though, sorta hard to bolt a rim on since there's no place for the bolt holes.
