Wheel recommendations?

Looking to buy some black (semi-gloss or matte) wheels to replace my stock 8-lug 16x7s wearing BFG KO2s (295/75/R16). As I'm open to different looks, but am somewhat value-conscious. Keeping the tires. What do you like?

I doubt you will end up caring what I like so find what you like.

many sites like tire rack or wheel pros have a configure feature which lets you see your rim on your vehicle

Keep your stock wheels, prep and paint them the color of your choice.

I personally prefer hub centric wheels.
​​Most aftermarket wheels are lug centric.

I am pretty sure Black Rhino makes hub centric aftermarket wheels for our excursions. So, that is where I would be looking.

I put these on a buddys truck and they look great, they are lug centric so you will need the conical (acorn) style lugnuts to use them, you can't use the factory flat lug nuts.

I had some polished Ultra wheels with 35in BFGs on my rig when I bought it. I'm removing the 10in lift, so had to have different wheels/tires for it. Found a set of stock SD wheels that had been painted flat black for $200 including worn out tires. Works for now, but when the lift removal is done and I'm ready to size the appropriate replacement tires, I'll look to have the wheels powder coated or simply plasti-dipped for cheap.
