Tires and Rims tips PLEASE!

I just bought an 03 F-150, and I want to put some tires and rims on it. I really like the look of the simulated beadlocker rims without the ring around the outside. I'm looking for a very specific look. Nothing crazy big that does not look like it doesnt belong in the wheelwell. and I dont want them to stick out to far past the wheelwell. I went to a tire website and found some rims that I like, but they didnt have prices. So I went to the tire store, and they said they could order them, and wrap some rubber around them, but I would have to buy them first. And basically if I didnt like them, I would have to pay shipping both ways. Has anyone else gone through this? Does anyone else want to see what they look like on their truck before they drop 2k on wheels and tires? Or am I just crazy? I was also wondering if any of you guys out there with aftermarket tires and bead locker rims could post som pics on this thread so I can get some ideas on how different sizes fit in the wheelwell. Thanks

you can see the rims on your truck before you buy.

my rims are simulated beadlock. i like the way they look, and there easy to keep shiny.

Thanks for the response, those rims look nice. What size are they? Do you have a lift on your truck? What size tire? Thanks

American Eagle Wheels, series 187, 16x10, with 305/70-16 (same as 33x12.50) Maxxis Buckshots. No lift except for cranking the torsion bars in the front. Had to trim the lower valance just a bit for full turn without scrubbing.
