Stock wheels vs. "chrome"?

I'm wondering what to do with my '85 F150. It has some older "chrome" wheels (they're kinda dingy/rusty) on it now with some 31s. I'm going to buy some new tires and was thinking of using some stock steel rims and some 235s.
Does anyone think think I should keep the setup it has on it now, or go with the stock wheels/look.
I'd like to see some pictures of a stock looking F150 (4X4) to help me decide...

thanks,
Stan

My Opinion would be to keep the 31's and clean up the crome rims or you could get the stock rims and paint them black or something besides the gray and throw the 31's on that. Either or keep the 31's bc theirs something about stock tires that doesnt really impress.....

IMO, I would keep the 31's and try and clean up your chrome rims. If they don't clean up too nice, get a new set of chrome rims, but like FoMoCo86XL said, stock tires/rims really don't impress. Good luck
