Default Black wheels

i am looking at putting black rims on my gold silverado to go with the black grille guard and other black accessories. they will either be 16's or 17's so it looks fairly stock. any ideas if it will go good with the gold color?

Try to get a look on one of the sites which sells rims what your vehicle will look like with the dark rims before you buy.

Hopefully it will look great.

I got black rims on my white truck, and they look small and plastic. I'm probably going to eventually have them powdercoated in a nickel finish later on to make the rims look better.
I went with 16" rims and the high profile stock tires because I wanted the same tires, and it didn't work out so well appearance-wise for me.

I was thinking the same thing Red, http://www.mrtire.com/site/wheels.html I am not trying to promote this retailer, but this is a link to a page where you can simulate what your truck and wheels would look like.
