I need wheel help!

I returned my 35 inch tires today so I could get my money back while I take my time to find the right rim. I want a 17 inch rim, no bigger, no smaller. I think 17 inch rim is the perfect size for a 35 inch, not to little side wall, and not to big. Anyway, I want my rim to be simple, nothing fancy, like this rim I will post below. I also want the rim to be wider than the 7 inches I was running. Maybe like a 9-10 inch wide rim? What ever wont be to goofy wide looking. I think these rims look great on our trucks, spoked rims dont look good, because our body stlyes do not match them. Thanks!

And dont forget. The wheels you showed on the jeep are pro comp(not great) the centerline wheels shown are probably one of the best on the market and you will pay for it
