Virtually every one I've seen that hasn't been rodded or modded has body color wheels.

Lots of trucks, especially the heavier models had black wheels. I just took a look at a sales brochure I downloaded (too big to attach) and there were pickups with black wheels, suburbans and panels with body color wheels. Pick your flavor and go with it. Unless your truck is some strange color, black wheels will look fine, but If you want body color, that's good as well.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
