I hate painted wheels.

Better than either, get polished aluminum...

blacks better, but you need a drop either way.

The black looks better and is much easier to keep clean.

Either wheel would look 10x better if you took off the Z71 off-road package

I have an SOM Formula...

SOM cars can look better with black wheels than some other colors. With the car in the picture, the black roof, mirrors, and scoop also help tie it together.

That said, I had black wheels on my Formula for a few years and got rid of them for polished aluminum. I got tired of the black wheels and think they are a bit overdone. I mostly prefer something in the "silver spectrum" now.
