Default Which rim color? decided semi gloss black

I have owned my truck for over two years now and the winters have taken there toll on the chrome finish. They look horrible now and I am looking to get them powder coated. I am just curious what you guys think would look best.

I was thinkning:

gunmetal
black gloss
matte black
silver



What you guys think??

For me trucks always looks a lot meaner with matte or satin black rims

Not a F150, but I thought the Volk TE37s look pretty badass on this Titan:

I would agree with hakkaboy, your truck is begging to be blacked out. Gloss black would be my pick.

Additionally, those don't look like the easiest things to clean. Therefore, I would consider matte black for ease of maintenance.
