    I think they’ll all ugly. I hate chrome/machined steel though. I like matte colors for truck wheels and darker colors.

    Just a thought... when you buy aftermarket wheels typically they make a wheel that will fit multiple types of vehicles, which means they are lug centric wheels rather than hub centric. So you will need to purchase an adapter kit for them to fit properly.
    You also will need to go to a tire shop that has the equipment and know how to road force balance everything.

    So keep a hollistic perspective on budget. Its not just the cost of the wheels themselves.

    I ended up paying a little more for the Toyota wheels but glad I did because thet fit the truck and require no gross effort and money on my part to keep them balanced properly.

    #2, and good call on going with street tires. I went with AT tires because I wanted the look but man, I miss the quiet, lower weight and better MPGs of street tires. Be honest with yourself about the driving you'll really be doing and get the right tires.

    Not all A/Ts are loud.

    I run Firestone Destination A/Ts and they are quiet. Audio/music is very important to me and humming wheels kind of kills good tunes lol.

    Great all around truck tire. I’ve also been very impressed with the treadwear.

    When I buy wheels I consider not only how they look - but also how easy or difficult they are to clean. I don't like having to spend an hour with a toothbrush getting brake dust out of crevasses in my wheels.
