My 2 cents and I know my opinion on wheels isn't worth much on this board according to some says that what you have now looks just as good as anything the others showed.

Choosing the "right" wheels and tires for a rig is probably the most damned if I do damned if I don't think a guy can do on his truck. The wheels shouldn't dominate the truck to make it look like a wheel add nor should they look out of place like some that belong on a Jacked 4x4 on a nearly stock truck because that is what the tire store had in stock that fit the day the truck owner went down to by new wheels. I'd say for me a part of that comes from the local tire stores more often than not have exceedingly poor taste when it comes to selling a customer new wheels for his rig or the local customers have exceedingly poor taste in wheels for the most part. The gaudier and uglier the wheel the more they like it around here.
