Black is the new chrome. Well, that is what many people seem to think. We won’t argue the popularity of black rims for your truck or SUV, but there is still a case that can be made for chrome wheels.

A growing number of car, truck and SUV owners are letting their wheels make a fashion statement. Choosing a more industrial look over the traditional shiny one looks to be a way to stand out. Many feel black truck wheels give their ride a more sporty and racy look. So it is of no surprise that many wheel and tire stores are seeing a surge in the sales of black rims. In fact, many store owners say half the rims they sell are black.

But are black wheels just a trend?

That’s hard to say, as this trend is still relatively new. Many vehicle owners are racing to have black wheels mounted on their vehicles as they see it as the best way to help stand out in a crowd. In addition, black rims give your truck or SUV that outlaw look, a look desired by men in general.

Options for this new renegade style wheel includes matte or glossy black finishes, as well as colored highlights and silver machined details. Some vehicle owners prefer a gun-metal finish, but all black wheels still remain the most popular.

But when it comes to improving the looks of your vehicle, there is really no wrong choice. Both black and chrome rims provide a way for you to stand out in a crowd. In the end, it’s all just about your preference.
