Bought 2 sets of wheels today - which one to use?

Yep, I was busy today. I came across some nice 14" chrome wheels (the kind that I think came on SE-5 Extended Cab B's). I figured my red regular cab B2200 would look good with them. It came with brand new 205/75R14 cheapo passenger car tires with whitewalls. My current rims are 14" steel that look like they were spray painted with Tremclad black a long time ago. They don't look that nice. I figured until I decide what I'm going to do, and make the truck look better, I'll put the cheapo passenger car tires (with whitewalls hidden by turing them to the inside) and mounted on my new 14" chrome wheels.

But eventually I want to go with the Prerunner look (a lifted 2wd truck that looks like a 4x4 and has some 4x4 suspension components). To pull off that look, I figured I will need 15" wheels with at least 215/75R15 (maybe 225 or 235/75R15). What I really wanted was a set of chrome or aluminum 15" aftermarket or OEM wheels (of any manufacturer as long as they are 6 bolt).

I got a good deal on some 15" Nissan chrome wheels - but the previous owner used that "black chrome" paint. He actually did a pretty good job, but given the choice I would have preferred regular chrome. But, the black chrome is growing on me. Looks kind of bad ass. Looks like I can use the stock chrome Mazda center cap for a bit of contrast. Might use these for winter tires, if I decide to rustproof the truck and drive it in the winter. To me, ANY black wheels look like spare tire wheels or black steelies for winter tires. Even if they're chrome or aluminum. But, these are more like light charcoal, and looks ligher or darker depending on the light. Not quite as dark as pure black paint, so maybe I can live with it. Not sure how much trouble it would be to remove the black chrome paint to expose the regular chrome. Might not be worth it.

After a couple of days, someone I emailed on Craigslist finally got back to me about a set of nice 15" 6 spoke aluminum wheels. I'm wondering if I should get them and sell the black chrome wheels. Had I known those were still available, I might not have bought the black chrome wheels. But, I might consider keeping two sets of wheels and tires. The black chrome for winter tires and the aluminum ones for all terrain tires.

I know I could go with bigger wheels, but I want to put some meaty tires on the rims. 14" seems too small and there's practically no tires in the size I would need. 15" tires seem to be plentiful and cheap to buy. 16" and bigger are more popular and thus, expensive. And the bigger I go with rim size, the lower profile tire I will need, which is not the way I want to go with this.

Let me know what you think of these wheels. I've attached a pic of my truck as it sits now (red, regular cab, black bumpers and grille, white cap which will be painted red and get tinted windows).

I found a pic of a red Nissan Titan with black bumpers and wheels, although those are darker than my new rims. Those are probably painted pure black, but it was as close as I could find.

So, let me know what you think, whatever your opinion. Good or bad, I want to hear it. Feel free to suggest something I hadn't thought of. But keep it budget friendly. Brand new high end aftermarket wheels are off the list.

Temporarily I will run with the 14" chrome wheels and 205/75R14 tires. If I like it, I may keep it longer, but I suspect once I lift the truck 2" these wheels will look too small. I'll need to put on some beefier 15" tires. Just not sure which rims to go with.

Thanks!

Personally I would go with the OEM chrome but I like the color of the 15" Nissan wheels which will also give you what you are looking for theme wise.

I like the OEM chrome too. Only thing is those are 14 inch rims. If I lift the truck 2" then they'll look kind of small, plus I'd like the extra height from 15" tires. I'll probably use the 14 inch chrome wheels for now until I decide what I'll do.
