Need Help Choosing Wheels for Black Mega Cab

Just bought a 07 Mega Cab today, have to ditch the stock wheels and I already have a stock set of 315 AT's for it. Question #1, are black wheels too much for black truck with tinted windows? Question #2, I now the stock wheels with 315's will be a tight fit, so I am trying to go with an aftermarket wheel that is around 5.5" or more of BS. Also want to kee the price under $200/wheel. Please through out ideas and pics of your setup. So far I like the XD795 HOSS in black and the XD766 Diesel in Black. Thanks for the help

I would say black it out. I think a black truck, with black wheels and tinted windows looks good!

I second that! Check out my new 35'' BFG MTs in this thread...

And these are on stock wheels...but powdercoated black. Everybody has their own tastes, but I prefer the stock backspacing.

2-1/2" front, just a hair over stock in the rear.

That's the backspacing I have. You should be able to run the 315s and no lift without rubbing. If you do get rubbing, it will be on the rear of the plastic inner fender at about 1/2 way to steering lock.

im with jbworm20 like the chrome. wish i had a pic of my new wheels they are MB Razors 22x11 they were a awsome price for 22's 178 each.
they have them in 17/18/20 for under 150. check them out they remind you of classic II locks with one less hole and machined square pads on the wheel lip that might look great painted or powdercoated.

I vote for black as well but you need to know, the 17" black Diesel's wont fit. The Hoss's do but not the Diesel's.

Looks like I can keep the stock wheels or get the HOSS wheels. Man I wish I had more choices, but without the leveing kit it looks like there is not much in the way of options. Pics of stock wheels with 315's and no lift and also pics of aftermarket wheels with no lift would be great
