What size wheel?

I know of a SICK wheel in our bolt pattern but they only come in 20x9 and they're $450 a pop lol so probably not something you would be interested in.

No, I don't want anything that big. There are lots of choices for 18's and larger.

I'm looking at 16x8's again. Possibly 17's, but I doubt it. I'm really not sure what I am going to do. I like the wheels I have now, just thinking about changing directions for future plans.

Had to go with #4, number 3 is just to plain to me. I like the skinnier spokes like your current wheels, thats just my opinion though.

Since they're 16" the spokes are smaller than in the picture they give of them, still a great looking wheel I think

I realy like the wheels you have, however I feel number 2 or 4 would be a good choice too.

Your truck looks great as is!

I'm not a fan of black wheels, but #3 looks the best out of all of those that you posted.

Obviously, chrome vs black is an issue here. Where are you on spokes vs. Ds, circles, ovals, etc. I remember seeing some wheels with circles, predominantly chrome with black. Personally, my mind becomes boggled thinking about all the possibilities, but it is easier when you become set on one thing in particular. Also, I do like your current wheels... not really crazy about the black--until recently when I saw some kick a$$ looking wheel in flat black at 4WDParts.

I like what you have on the truck now, but if you switch I would say go with the first option.
