id just stick with the nascar cheap steelie's. Unless you plan on rock crawling and getting rash on em.

a set of turbines powdercoated black would look better

I don't know- you can buy those same wheels from Summit, undropped, for 105 each, and they're not on backorder. I was looking at them earlier this year- I like the silver/tungsten finish- seems to me that they'd look like D windows from 10' away in all black. But, hey, it's your junk- run what you like.

I was just looking at new wheels today actually. Those aren't my cup of tea (can get them at Quadratec for $105 as well)...I liked these:

Mickey Thompson Signature Series Classic II in Satin Black for $110.
I also like the AR Mojave but it has that Teflon stuff which I'm not too crazy about.

Sorry if this comes across as hating, but the wheels in the 1st post, to me, are super ricer-rific. If you want black wheels, go for the $40/each Crager or American Racing ones.
The ones pictured (at least to me....) are ugly-as-sin.
Just my pair-'o-pennies. :)

American Racing's ATX series Mojave and Chamber are good ones. KMC's Enduro is another to consider.

ya but for alloys there are not as many good looking options as steelies

i just had this issue. i got some 38x15.50x18's from my work. all i wanted was a steelie 18x9or10 . so finding no company makes the soft 8's or D window in a 18" 5 on 5.5" bolt patters. i had to call all of our vendors. not many 18" wheels out there with that bolt pattern i guess. i dont know. but this is what i ended up getting.. $99 each, on sale my price. http://i38.tinypic.com/2qm3h95.jpg P.S, I HATE chrome so those caps and lug nuts arent gonna be shiny. I was trying to find something in black, these were my best option. and really couldnt beat the price for a 18" rim IMO.

Those are sweet, but with the amount of rock rash around here they wouldn't hold up well.
Those really look nice.

i plan on giving them tons of rock rash..., due to the deep dish they should hold up.
