Depends, what color is your van?

imho a red van with red top and black bumpers, as pictured in the first post, would look much better with black rims and black tires.

otoh, a blue van does well with silver rims, and white letters

I also think a Gold Van looks better with black rims and tires than with silver rims and white lettering.

For a Silver Van, I would use silver rims, and white lettering would match.

here is a red van with silver rims and a white top, black tires. In this case I think the white lettering would look better, because it would tie in to the white top, but I would still rather see black rims and black tires on a red van, because they would tie in to the black bumper color.

Hey Jon is that one of your syncros?

[7thing3]

It is orange, similar to this, although there is black painted along the bottom foot all the way around.

I am dechroming the few bits that are still on it. I am thinking of going with the South African alloys.

Probably will go with a bumper and tire carrier like this.

skeleton tube bumpers on a square van, yuck!

I much prefer the GoWesty steel bumper

to each their own, you get tube bumpers and silver wheels

I get square bumpers and black wheels , in fact, I would consider a trade for my rheins and tube bumpers if you want them.. I also have available the van cafe bent wire tire carrier, as I invested in a Gary Lee rear mount..

for your viewing pleasure
orange van with silver wheels and black tube bumpers, Syncrozilla:

and a van with GoWesty bumper and Gary Lee tire carrier, ladder, and bike rack

the gary lee ladder can also carry a gas can and hilift jack

I dig the white letters facing out on BFG's and requested it at the tire shop when mounting these up.
Whatever floats your boat.
