Question, since your wife will be driving this, why do you need fancy tires/rims? Just asking out of curiosity I'd rather thrown in another plasma for the home and leave the wife with stock rims, but thats just me

I have a black H3x and this is my choice in a 20" rim.
Be sure to keep the overall diameter the same to keep your speedo accurate and not to upset your stabilitrac.

I appreciate the feedback. My wife and I were ready to call and change the order to Chrome...then I did this quick mock-up. I don't recall who's ride this was (apologize for not giving credit...) but it was yellow with the same black/alum wheel we ordered. So I used my fantastic photoshop skills (not) to change the truck color to black. Now we're back to leaning towards the damn black wheels. This picture looks pretty cool!
We would also have body matched grill and a chrome brushguard.

I have made the decision to change my order to the CHROME wheels. Despite how cool the black ones looked, we just felt more comfortable with the look and duability of the all chrome version. What killed it for me was seeing some guy on Monday with a black/polished aluminum wheel that had clear coat issues where it was peeling up on the wheel. I think they were lower end wheels that he bought at Discount Tire, but I couldn't help get nervous about how well those things would last. Chrome isn't impervious, but it's far more durable than any paint and clearcoat.
Here's the link to the wheels:
All chrome
Black / Polished Aluminum
I went with 20" wheels and I'm having them mounted with Nitto Terra Grappler tires 305/50/R20's (picture attached). The Black set ran $3400 and the Chrome set is running a little more (around $3600). This includes all hardware, all mounting, new wheel lug nuts all around for FIVE wheels/tires (had to do the spare too!!) and includes sales taxes, etc. This all ran a little more $$ than I wanted, but you can't get close to awesome.... You have to go all the way. My kid can pay for one year of college, right?
If I could have seen both options mounted before making a commitment, there's a good chance we would have wound up with the black wheelset. But considering the time and effort invovled to "test" wheels and tires, we had to go with the sure bet...Chrome it is.
Thanks for making this decision an easier one.
