Charlie, PASS on the black chrome. Altho nice to look at, black chrome is softer and less durable than good quality chrome. I would only use black chrome on something I didn't have to put a wrench too.



FYI, My "Strand Cruiser" bicycle frame I had Black Chromed and it is beautiful with red anodized rims...

Oh, I'm not going to go cheap on them but for instance, ARP black oxide bolts will rust within the year here in Atlanta, (actually only a few months) but in dryer climates, they will not. I mostly don't want something like that happening but also quality chrome lug nuts don't chip and I'm curious if black chrome is as durable. Ultimately, I guess, if I have to be the Guinea pig, I will.

Charlie,
I havn't used the black chrome ones but can tell you don't waste your money trying to save money on lug nuts. Last set of chrome ones I got for my Mercedes went to the crapper in one year! I've even tried to powder coat some and its not much better. That said check out your brands and go with a known name. Sure hope we see the real truck this year and not that model you keep taking pictures of!  Chuck in NH

Has anyone used black chrome lug nuts, or black chrome anything for that matter? Is it as durable as regular chrome?

Actually those colors look pretty good togather. Now if Charlie could just find a full size truck! Chuck in NH

Charlie,

I just wanted to say that I really like the tires and wheels.  Just a little hot rod, just a little off road, just a little NASCAR.  That overdrive will really come in handy now.

Dustin, are you talkin a little Billy Gibbons trash now?

Tee Hee I got the joke... I like it.. Purple is a hard color to pull off but if the top section goes a shade or two darker on the green I think it will look good.. Like the Joker.. Cause every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

My hobby is customizing hotwheels and building realistic models. These are for one of my rare hotwheels unibody pickups.
