I've got a white Tahoe LS with black molding and chrome bumpers and very dark window tint. I'm kind of torn between chrome or black wheels since I've got a good amount of both. I'm wanting to stick with 22s for now, that's what's on it currently.

I haven't been able to find any good pictures of NBS Tahoes with black molding with black wheels, I only found pictures of painted molding.

I really like the 22" CK158 wheels right now and possibly chrome 20" LTZs.

Here's a picture of my Tahoe: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1439930313.507018.jpg

PS: if I did black I did want to do smoked LED tails... But none will fit the barn doors without a reverse light delete

You can still get smoked lights to fit the barn door tails. There is a how to thread in my signature. Mine are red but the come in like 4 different color combos.

As for the wheels it just depends. Are you going to keep the black moldings? most people either get color matched ones or remove them all together. Along with door handles, bumpers and mirrors, which might be why you have a hard time finding ones with the black moldings.

Im white as well but the only black I have is my headlights, gmc logo and roof rack. I dont really like the fact that black wheels makes them look smaller either. When I finally buy wheels pretty sure they will be the comp grey TBSS 22's though, really like the dark grey wheels.

Unless it is all color matched then I think comp gray or machined goes best with black and white. Not a fan of black wheels as they look small. If your were CM all white then chrome would look good....

I'm not a fan of color matching white. I think it looks great on any other color but I actually like the contrast of the black on the white. So for now everything but the wheels are staying how they are.

It does have a billet grill and bow tie, so there's a little extra chrome on it.

And update: gonna have to stick with 22s. Just had to order new tires because I had a nail in mine, and nowhere would fix it because of the tire beginning to dry rot. I would just plug/slime it but they're getting to the point I'm not comfortable driving on them long distances. I guess that's one reason the last owner sold it off; didn't wanna buy new tires.

It's all personal taste. I don't like black wheels, so I would never pick them. I like chrome or polished, because you can see all the details of the wheel.

I almost got a free pair of OEM LTZ wheels but they forgot to tell me before they traded off the vehicle... Back to the drawing board.

I'm looking at the Texas Edition wheels as well but I'm not sure how they'd look in 22s. For example I love the 20" LTZs but they look funny in 22s IMO.

So it's pretty much Texas Edition vs Chrome 158s or possibly black 158s. The black and machined ones sounded like a good idea until I saw them mounted on a tire, the black really emphasized the space between the spokes and not the spokes themselves

Ps I found a CM Tahoe I actually liked, I may do mine like this eventually
