Default wheel help please

I am looking to purchase new wheels and tires for my '01 F-350 Dually in an effort to fill the wheel wells void created by a 6" lift. I am also trying to effectively reduce my gear ratio from 4.10 down to something like 3.73 for better RPM's on the HWY. I have decided not to pursue the 22" or larger such as American Force and others have for many reasons including weight, balancing issues, $7K+ cost!!! and I like the idea of direct bolt-on, not adaptors that have the rear wheels sticking out way past the fenders. Rickson appear to be a popular and decent choice with their 19.5" but I am not thrilled with the looks of the basic Alcoa "hole" look. The star pattern is a little nicer but nothing much different from the stock Ford look. I like the looks of the Weld EVO Custom Wheels Velociti 8 Dually but it appears they had gone out of business but are now back and don't make truck wheels?

or the Niche Roxxy




I am trying to find a nice looking set of 19.5 x 6.75 or 7.5's to put on the largest diameter tires I can (at least 265/70's). Black, chrome or polished would work. Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks!
