Aftermarket wheels/tires for 81 F150 2wd

I am restoring and fixing up my 81 F150 Ranger Lariat 2wd pickup and I want to put some aftermarket wheels and tires on it once it is painted. The engine is being built as a 408 from the stock 351m and the truck is a two tone brown and the dark brown is almost like a bronze color. I am thinking something wide and in a deep dish style with a classic cragar or torq thrust look, but wanted some input and opinions from others here. If you have pictures of your truck with some nice wheels on it, I'd love to see them. Thanks!

These are the old originals. They are 15x7 with new AR center caps. I took these off and put 15x7 polished slots on it now. I am posting that picture on here also. I am making them large to see them better. I also have a picture with 15x10 on back and 15x8 up front slotted mags that I ran on it for awhile.

Nice pics. I'm fond of the old school slot mags myself.

I like the middle pic best also. I use the truck for an everyday work truck.Having all the wheels the same size makes it easier to rotate. I am on jobsites all week so I also carry road hazard.

I bought all 4 tires at the same time but, only got road hazard for one. I recently took it to wal-mart to have a tire replaced. (Razorblade sliced through) The lady said that there was a problem since she did not know which tire had the road hazard. I said there was no problem cause it was easy to see that it was the one with the razor in it. They replaced the tire and I had to re up the road hazard for the new tire.
