    I am looking for decent brand of plain black wheels (nothing flashy or too pricey) for a 2010 4x4. Any recs?

    There was a guy on here that had a step by step painting procedure on his and they look great. May want to try that? Or not.

    Probably not. I'm not that skilled.

    Procomp 7089 are definitely not flashy. They held up well for me through salted road winter's. They are fairly inexpensive.

    While we're on the subject of inexpensive wheels, I'm also looking for somewhat inexpensive black wheels for my 2017 Inferno SR5.

    Of course you can Google "wheels" and you'll be hit by an avalanche of about 40,000 different options right off the bat. Whew.

    Here's what the procomp 7089s looked like on my 2nd gen.

    Not flashy at all, but when you're looking for utility that both works and still looks rugged... not bad.

    Here's something to consider for both OP and anyone looking at wheels: steel wheels tend to be rather inexpensive, but at the cost of weighing more than alloys. So if you're hyper-miling, stay away, otherwise it's something to consider.

    I've been trying to avoid pro comp every time I go into 4 wheel parts shop but these are pretty good looking.

    Good info. I have not understood much on the wheel side of things (sort of last of my mods to do) so this is very critical!

    Steel wheels have way more downsides than upsides. Heavy. Most 16s won't clear our brakes. They are almost all narrow. Salted roads make them rust. Too many good alloy/aluminum options to consider steel.

    By "narrow" do you mean 8 inches? Seem to be a lot of options at or around factory width.

    I'll give ya the rust feature long term, though I had steelies on a 2006 Sheep Wrangler for several years in the midwest (St. Louis, the second saltiest city in North America) and never had any rust issues.

    All in all though, for a few bucks more, some very good looking and lighter weight alloys are to be had, I think.

    I should have been more clear. By narrow, I mean no offset. So they aren't as wide as the fender. That drives me crazy.
