I figured I would take off the Chrome rims for the winter and put on some Escalade rep's gloss black rims. Like the chrome rims for the summer but the black rims give it a totally different look and is a nice seasonal change. I wanted a more rugged tire as well, so I went with the Terra Grappler G2 285/45/22's. Should help out with the North East winters....Before and After....Thoughts? Chrome or Black or Neither lol?

Shout out to Yetti for the rimss.

They both look good but its chrome for me-nothing better than a black/chrome combo IMO

Black will make the rims look smaller than they actually are.

With the amount of chrome on it now, keep it chrome.

^this.

Black looks nice, but won't pop on your truck like the chrome.

Looks nice just needs bigger tires for that all terrain look. I would have went with 285/55/22

Looks pretty cool. Thinking about doing this for snow tires. Those are pretty low profile, how's it ride around town?

Looks lower than it is. It is basically stock size. Just looks lower because the tire and rims are both black...rides perfect zero issues
