I can definitely help, offroad or on, do you want stock offset or a little stickout? will you be getting new tires too, and what size are you looking for? There are hardly any wheels with white in them, but there are plenty flat black ones with machined parts that look good on white trucks.

Thinking more on road, something fancy, not to much offset. Not to crazy about the wheels stickin out.. Most likely something similar to flats for tires. And probably around 20's or so!

Here are some various styles, many brands have their version or a couple versions of wheels like these.

If you don't want much offset, go between 30 and 13 positive offset on a 9 inch wheel. Mine are 13, which do stick out a bit, but not a ton. 18ish is better, 25 is best but you have to watch inner clearance too. I have a whole inch of inner clearance with +13. Most of these wheels here have a +18 for our bolt pattern.

Don't look for a final choice here, just a style that you like.

Just take your time to find some new wheels. As stated above, an offset of +18 on a 9" wide wheel is perfect, and a lot of wheels come with that offset.
Happy hunting!
