Viking!!! What planet have you been on! Have you not seen a pic of my truck in one of the two threads we had going on the powdercoated wheels? One was started by you! You know the one where "06cummins" photoshopped the pics, but didn't get to finish one of your pics. And I had another thread about "before and after...1 year ago". 
Here is one, with more in my photo gallery. My input is go for it, if you like the way mine looks. The 315s are fine also if you have a leveling kit. Personally, I think they are just a little to big and rob power so I compromised and decided on 285s.

Still not sure which tires, but i am now leaning toward the BFG's

Knuckle Head,
The 285 BFGs are what comes on the Powerwagon.....like in the pic I posted a couple of posts up. My truck has 285s and the Powerwagon flares identical to the Powerwagon.....but my truck has the CUMMINS.
No Hemi! 
I do think the Powerwagons look nice!

yea, but yu can get away with that look. I dont have the ranch hand bumpers, all black, heavy dudy side steps, your truck is more MEAN and aggressive looking in a different way while the look im trying to go for is like this:
so im not sure how good powder coating my wheels would look.

Viking,
Those are all very nice looking trucks. I agree they have a different look than mine with the lift, bigger tires, and aftermarket rims. I don't know really what you are trying to ask.
As a suggestion, you might be a candidate for H2 wheels and get them powdercoated black like CQuestad.
Look at his gallery here......

I pull a 5th wheel so a lifted truck was out for me. And, personally im not a fan of wheels sticking out from the fenders of the truck and almost all of the aftermarket wheels do that due to different backspacing. I like the OEM wheels, I just wanted to do something different with them so I got them powdercoated black.

Yes I do know that, but i want to see what they look like on my truck,
I am curious if the tires look that much bigger?? I may end up keeping the stock ones for a while, I just found out I am getting stationed in Barstow Ca.
And I am leaving sooner than planned, "July" so i might run the stock ones to burn up as much tread as possible before I switch out. It's alway's something
