Default Need wheel help

With winter (and snow) approaching (here), I decided it's time to pop for new rubber and ditch the horrid Goodyear's my 08 Sport came with. I figured I'd get new wheels while I'm at it, but everything is so damn ugly. lol. I've spent two days scouring the net for a clean, 5 spoke, Torq Thrust style wheel to no avail. Anyone know of a company that makes one that'll fit out trucks?

The pic below is the style I'm looking for. Just a clean, rounded Torq Thrust style 5-spoke, preferably with a black center (but I'd go full chrome as well).

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I guess I'm just getting old. I still like just the plain, old, no frills, strong, bullet hole style wheels in the smallest diameter I can get to fit around the calipers (giving me the most possible sidewall for airing down off the pavement)...

Give me a set of old off-road stand-bye Crager Soft 8s or Mickey Classics and I'm a happy camper...



I was fixin' to finally replace the stock chrome wheels on my Jeep with some black Soft 8s until my work decided to declare bankruptcy and lay me off. Maybe Santee Clause will bring me a set...

Check out Boss wheels, this one looks similar. You can select other colors.

If I were building an off-roader, I'd fully agree, but my truck is purely a streeter. To give you an idea of what I'm going for, my truck is an 08 1500 Sport in Sunburst Orange. I want to give it a late-60's/early-70's muscle flare...Torq Thrust style wheels, shaker hood, some sort of graphic (leaning towards an AAR Cuda type stripe), etc.

Thanks, but I tried Boss too. No go.

Girl I go out with from time to time bought a set of these for her Charger last year, 20x8.5 and I'm almost sure they are available in 5 on 5.5.

I can text her and find out where she got 'em if they fit your fancy...
