Default Help me decide

The other day i picked up a nail on the road, head it come out, and within a half mile the tire was flat. so i had to put my spare on. It is a black steel wheel.. Well i put my chrome center cap on just so i didnt have to worry about it blowign out of the back or anything.. Well after seeing it i kind of liked the way it looked. So here is what i have been thinking about doing since.

Taking the cladding off the the OEM steelies and then sand blast them and paint them black. And then either get some chrome lugnuts or just use my chrome center cap again..

The tires in the picture are the stock size, i am ordering new tires today in size 315/70r17 so that should make it look a little better...

So what do you think? keep the chrome cladding or take it off and go with black wheels?
