**Update - See the new rim canidates below. **
Can somebody please photoshop this rim on my truck. I know its not the best picture, but its the most recent/best I got right now. They are 17x9" V-TEC rims from Discount Tire and the same size as what I have now.

No photoshop software on this netbook, sorry. But I must be honest. I don't think that color of your truck will suit black wheels very well.

I disagree I think those would look real good on your truck

I think the black chrome would be a much better look on your truck.

I found 2 styles of rims that I like for my truck. The Metal Moto 951's look the best IMO, but I don't like their offset (-12 vs factory +33). My front track width is already pushed out from my lift. I plan to lift a little more soon, so the track is going to go out farther. Going to the 951's will increase the track another 1.5" on each side. The MB Chaos 6's are very close to the factory offset (+25) which will only increase the track 8MM on each side. The MB's are also cheaper. Here are some pics of both wheels on similiar trucks to mine.
MM 951's on a Z71 with 3" body lift. This truck would sit slightly higher than mine.

MB Chaos on a Z71 with a 6+ lift and bigger tires than my truck

Stock wheels with a 3"/3" lift from factory height

MM 951's with a 5"/3" lift and tinted windows

MB Chaos with 5"/3" lift and tinted windows (keep in mind the wheels are probably a little shinier than normal)
I have pretty much made up my mind on the MB rims. I am going to need new tires very soon, so I am planning on getting the MB rims and some BFG AT K/O's in the same size I have now from Discount Tire. I am looking at $1591.09 for the rims, tires, lugs + key, mount, balance, install, lifetime rotation/balance, replacement certificates, and tax. I'm not thrilled about paying $207 a tire, but AT tires aren't cheap and I have had good success with MB, BFG, DT.

The 951's remind me of my Helo Maxx 6 wheels I had on my Tahoe, but I am not terribly sold on them. I think the MB's look a bit better. We'll be anxiously waiting to see the results!

Im digging the 951's with the right tires to go with them.
