I am leaning towards chrome because of warranty. The wheel chrome exchange companies here in LA would charge $750 for black powder coated, with 1 year warranty, but for chromed wheels, it's $650 with 5 year warranty. I've seen one with black OEM wheels before, when I find one with black wheels I'll post it here.

Got the Chrome today.

I have the 19" Chromes and love them. They are so easy to keep clean, not a lot of grooves etc for dirt to get into.

Post pics when you get them installed, which ever direction you go.

Happy Birthday!!!!!
Thank you!

So I have to ask what the total was out the door for the Chrome rims. Installed etc..
Thanks Interesting they would only warranty the black ones for a year.

I like them both but the Vossenn looks awesome. Makes the SUV look more aggressive.

Yeah, it looks like it's being driven by a man.

I tried but the price was even higher than what you paid so I decided to shop around. I like the fact the seven spokes allow you to clean the inside easy.
