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.

id get the ones in the first picture, in black that would look REALLY nice, no chrome bc they get diry too quick and take too much work to keep clean and looking good(true of all REAL chrome)
