Default flat or gloss wheels?

I'm getting new tires and wheels sometime next month. I'm going with 30.5x9.5 BFgoodrich all-terrain tires. I just can't figure out what wheel would look best with my ranger. I'm looking at either the Series 8069 Wheel - Gloss Black or the Series 7069 Wheel - Flat Black. I am also going to crank my torsion bar after all of this.

First things first- Sell me your flares.

Second- The chrome looks great on your truck and a set of 31s would look better than the 30s. IMO keep chrome and level with 31s

----------

If you get black it would have to be gloss...

I don't want my tires to look "stuffed" though. That is why I was planning on getting 30's

Here's a pic of my truck with a leveling kit and 31s. I had 30s and they looked really tiny for some reason

31's will not look stuffed at all man. 33's would lol.

as for wheels, myself, im a fan of flat black. i wasnt sure same as you, i ordered the pro comp series 52's in flat black and when i saw them, i knew i made the right choice.

Im with Clay, If you get black Id go with gloss.

BUT I think some Brushed Aluminum or Chrome with 31's would look pretty sweet

The poll is 50/50, and I also have a lot of people saying to get chrome. Guess I'm going to have to make a decision. I'll put pics up soon

My truck has the same suspension as yours and I'm stock with 31's, they don't look stuffed. I vote flat black.
