My "Which wheels should I get?" poll
I plan on upgrading to some new 315/75/16 MTRs soon, and that's gonna mean I need something more than the stock 16x7 wheels. I really like some AR baja wheels, but then I realized I could just beadlock my current 3rd gen 5-spokes and achieve the width I need for the new tires (8") and at the same time be beadlocked. That also works well because I really do like my current wheels also (and searched long and hard for them to replace my factory fancy coke bottle wheels). And it'd cost less.
So with that decision made, now there's the option of powdercoating. So I guess it's not so much "wheels" but which look should I get. I'm a sucker for black wheels and might just do it with these, but could still go either way. So I thought it'd be interesting to see what the peanut gallery
has to say about it.
If I go black, I'd just powdercoat the wheel and leave the beadlock ring with its original finish.
The pictures are my rig test fitting on a 315/75/16 MTR tire.

Smart move Charles. Those factory 5 stars are 
Your truck looks awesome and I have always been a fan of stockish looking modded trucks.
I would say leave them alone and just widen and bead lock, but since BruceTS has those and you both live in SoCal (I think) I say go for a dark grey/ anthracite powdercoat and leave the beadlocks alone. I guess that mean I'll vote black
