Default help choosing wheels

Hello I want to buy new wheels for my 2007 dakota, Ive come down to two choices:
1.- Enkei rts 16x8 0 offset
2.- Ultra 164 16x8 -6 offset
They will be mounted on general grabber ats 265/70r16
The third picture is of what my truck looks like.
I would like some help in choosing one.

In 16" I like the ultras better but above that I'd go with the Enkeis.

I like the ones with the holes. I would get it in black chrome also. thing I hate about my wheels is the fronts and all the brake dust turning them black. Figure start with black and it will look better longer.
