Default Alright, I need wheel ideas

Haven't even owned my ram a full week yet and someone decides it's too pretty, so they had to hit the truck. Lady pulled out of a gas pump stall with out looking up at what was in front of her. Just so happened that she nailed my driver's side wheel. Her insurance is paying for the boo boo.... Went to the dealer, and for what they want for a new wheel, I could buy a whole new set and they be full chrome and not that cheap plastic cover.

Only problem is that I'm not sure just what direction I want to go with this, so I'm looking for ideas. Any ideas would be great.

I am going to be in the market for new wheels too for my 09. I have seen a couple trucks that have some offset rims. Having the rubber stick out a bit looks really really good.. Just a thought..

I like the chrome clad as well, my wife has real chrome wheels and they get destroyed by salt here in canada, if i get new wheels they are either going to be machined aluminum/ black or all black.

I like the style of the factory wheels, but I can't accept the fact that they are plastic. That's a deal breaker.

As for chrome and salt, it's not that big of a deal. All of our vehicles are immaculate at all times, and that includes when it's -10 outside.

Right now, I'm leaning towards Helo H835's.....

The plastic is the only part of the stockers that I like, at least it doesn't corrode. I've had my truck almost two years and the outer rim (the metal part) has turned into the consistency of chalk. I can pick chunks of corroded material out with my fingernails. I don't understand it, my dads 04 platichromes look perfect even around the outer rim and it never gets washed
