Go to Discount Tires site and check out the wheels they have. They have a few to choose from. I like the flat black look myself. Its really about your personality and your truck is your canvas, make to what you like.

I thought about powder coating but the old ones are pitted around the bead and valve stem to the point they are leaking so I didnt know if it would work or not

I like these:

ATX MOJAVE with TEFLON ® coating
(Series AX3981)
one piece aluminum painted

American racing makes some nice wheels and alot of them are made in USA.
