Just got my Helo 835 17x8s and 285/70 BFG A/T KOs mounted today. I think they're the perfect balance of black vs. machined. I may still level it but it's not killing me yet since this is such a huge improvement over the steelies.

Personally I would rock the first set of boss rims you posted. They go with everything your truck has going for it. A hind of contrasting chrome but mostly black. Those rims are a perfect fit for the truck but I do have to say if you are going to do the 2 sets of rims you realistically need a new set of tires. Keep your toyo's for winter and rock lets say some coopers in the summer. Or put the toyo's on the new rims and buy a more winter oriented tire for the factory wheels. I know it does not sound affordable or practical but I have heard or too many occasions where either rims were damaged or the bead on the tire is damaged because of the seasonal changes. Hell maybe you could even pick up a set of take off HP's just for the time being. Just some food for thought.

That's an interesting point, and I could imagine having the rims taken on and off the tire becoming a real nuisance between the seasons. I as well thought the Boss rim looked really sporty too. I don't look at my truck as an off-road truck, kind of hits me as sporty, so that's why I was leaning towards a more muscle car/truck wheel. Then again after being around my brothers 2010 Ram, my truck is suddenly starting to feel less performance oriented lol.

Would somebody be willing to photoshop the Boss rims on I posted in the very beginning of this thread onto the signature picture I have right now? I figured the full side shot would give the better idea of what the black rims would look like on the truck. Thanks a lot.

You should really put bigger pictures of the truck if you want a nice looking photoshop but here you goName:  381306606copy.jpg

Those look pretty good. Got to say they look much better than I expected them to.
