Default Thinking about some new wheels...opinions welcome

Well, guys, since I've bought Goshawk23s truck, I've loved owning it. The only thing is since I've known the truck for the last 7 or so years, it still feels like "John's" truck to me. I think that with a wheel change I can make it feel more like my own. I've owned a vehicle with black wheels prior, and I really enjoyed having them. So, I'm thinking about going with a set of Boss 330 black/polished lip setup. I know they're pretty played out as far as the board and the internet goes, but you never see them where I live, so its not an issue here. I do like the wheels I have on here, but it just doesn't fit my style as much. My father is going to get my wheels and put them on his truck.
As far as weight difference, it isn't going to matter because I have a wheel setup to race on. Let me know what you guys think about the Black 330s on my truck. Here's a few pics.

Have you checked out the raceline maxim 6? I prefer them to the 330s, and think they look more refined with their tapered spokes. (complements the step side bed too) believe they also come in chrome.

Seems like kinda a step down, going from forged wheels to something like this... Lol

Plus I like factory wheels , they've come a long way in the recent years and always fit good .

How bout some black ( if you must) ck375s or some TBSS reps ? Those would both look sick .

I have a set of eagle alloy 219's that I'm just about to post up for sale. They're 18x9.5 and in great shape. Tires on them, although they're pretty worn out.

That IS a great looking black wheel! I think I'm with you on liking them more than the 330s.

After looking at your suggestions on the ck375s, I've now thrown both the black ck375s and the chrome ck375s in my decisions. I think both would look great on the truck!

So now I have 3 more wheel choices thrown into the mix. This is going to be a tough one.

Man, if they were 20s I'd be all over them! I absolutely love that wheel! I'm just hell bent on a 20 on this extended cab. If I still had my single cab, I'd probably go 18 instead of 20.

My opinion, black wheels are not going to look right with the white-silver fade paint. I think a silver or clear coated machine finish would look great and be different from the normal chrome or polished wheel. If you go with the 330, the gunmetal or silver version may fit the bill nicely.
