8 Lug Wheel Ideas?

OK...so I am leaning towards leaving my 2500 Burb in its original 8 lug configuration. That said.....what have you guys seen that looks cool for 8 lug wheels? I would like to use a stock steel wheel from some year... Color scheme calls for gloss black wheels....trying to steer clear of any chrome....so beauty rings are out unless they are pcoated... Any ideas?

I know you don't want the chrome but my rims are off a mid to late 2000s chevy silverado. I love them and think they make my rig pop with the new paint job.

These wheels aren't factory,but you could do the same thing with any styled steel wheel and the center cap gives a more factory look. Wide steel wheels with or w/o hubcaps is what I mostly like. These look great with turbines and slots
