Olyelr you beat me to it. I was just gonna share that story.
Seriously man never...and I mean NEVER buy from 4WP!!! There are tons of guys I've talked to and they all will have horror stories about that place. Guys getting stuff they didn't order... tires in the wrong size... wrong gears., you name it.
FYI.. I personally like the Pro Comp chrome rims man.

I won't buy from them...to many horror stories!

I've always had luck with American Tire Company...good service...good prices. They will beat ANYONE prices...plain and simple. When I got my tires Costco had a $50 off when you buy a set that brought the tires down to like $860...I think. Any way he dropped it to $840 and I was like...man I'd really like to be down at $800 cause wife and I wanted to get that price (btw that was bs on my part :P ) and said done...and it was done!

I got the same size tires and have the same problem as you...want them to stick out more..33 are nice but I kinda think I wanted 35 (315) but didn't want the gears problem/cost and lift.

I want to find a backspacing at 4 if possible without throwing out a lot of change...non chrome for me...black on chrome be ok.

Also, what do you guys think of these wheels?

I like both of the wheels you linked to. Both would look good on your truck. For your reference, the backspacing on the 17" off-road rims you currently have is 5.25. Same rims I have.

I pretty much will never do business with 4WP. I've heard too many bad stories, and when i've gone there to just look around, I haven't had good impressions of the people who work there.
