Pic Request: Machine Finish Wheels

I need suggestions for wheels, I am getting ready to buy some. I would like to see pictures of wheels with a machine finish, like a dull shine. Some examples





Thanks everyone.

Partial machined-

Not all machined, just the silver on it is.
I just bought these in an 8 lug- 17x8 with 5" back space.

wheel

That second wheels is a Desert Rat Raton. Google it. Everyone tells me that it won't work on our Dodges because its 10 inches wide with 4.5 inches of backspacing. If only they would make it with less backspacing I'd already have bought it...

Well of course you don't rub you have 9 inches of total lift I should have been more specific. People keep telling me that much backspacing won't work well on a truck at stock height or with just a leveling kit.

My HELO rims have 4.25"s of back spacing, and I run a 2" leveling kit, with no problems...

They do stick out quite a bit, though.

Stock wheels have 6 or 6.25"s of b.s., I don't remember which off the top of my head...
