Now don't leave me hanging like that...what are they? got a picture? and what they cost?
Oh and the talk about the black steel rims (cragars or unique) I originally looked into those but like said above with 5" backspacing they don't stick out at all...they are basically the same as stock, just wider.

I like the look of the black rims too. (got a lot of compliments on them too)...thats why I'm holding on to them but I dont like how skinny they made my tires look....my current rims are only one inch wider at 10" and I can tell....this way i dont have to run lower then recommended pressure to prevent the center of the tire from wearing prematurly.....I could drive over some light dirt before and see that only the center of my tires were really making contact...and this was with the recommended psi in the tires.... the 5 inch back spacing actually gave me and extra inch of clearance between the tire and fender at full lock though.

16x10. why? because you are doing a luft witch lets say 33's or posibly 35's thats gonna put you at a 12.5in wide tire. ok obviously with a wider rim you are putting a little more tire on the ground wi\hich means more ground preasure. i have 15x10 and wish i would have got 15x12 for that reason. true you can get an 8in wide wheel to stick out. mine stocks out a little further than dodge15004x45.9's wheels but with more tire on the ground. take a look at the width of his tire and look at the width of my tire...

i was not knocking your tires i was just saying if he is doing a lift and rims, why nit buy the wider rims weather the tire now are wide or not you can put an 8in wide tire on a 10in wide rims and vise versa. so why not buy wide wheels so thant when you get wide tires you already have the rims.
