Default Wheel question

Hey everyone I have a few questions about wheels. I have a 99 dodge ram 1500 sport. It has a 3" top gun customs lift. My truck is white and i been trying to go with black accessories cause I love the combination its already got black fender flares, black bully steps, and black tail light cover. I am trying not to spend alot of money on wheels but im looking into getting just some plain black wheels for cheap and cant find any around town for sale. I found the wheels on Ebay which fits in my budget i want to spend. just a couple questions on them since i have never boguth aftermarket wheels before but was wondering if these would fit my truck good?

My main concern being i dont know much about wheels is they have a load rating of 2200 pounds, not sure if you times that by four to get the limit they can hold. Just trying to get some more knowlege input on this. thanks

if budget is your main concern, I'd buy some white spoke (used to be the cheapest, not sure if it still is) in the size you want then scuff them up and paint them black. Put some nice lugnuts and center caps on them and call it a day!

The 2200 pounds is per wheel. I did not see any indication as to what they would fit. Call vendor. Summit Racing has a regular website as well with their phon number.

I dont want to do all that lol. I was thinking for 4 already black wheels with centercaps for $364.75 and free shipping is pretty cheap. Just not 100% sure they will fit.

Summit has 'em in 16X8. About the same price..... center hole is 4.28 inches, they are not hub-centric wheels. (centered by the lug nuts.)
