Default Big Rig look

So I am planning on getting a lift, tires, and wheels this summer. i really love the look of big rig trucks and want to apply that look to my truck. I know i can get Alcoa wheels with the adapters but that route is just so expensive. Plus i only have a SRW truck. After a little researching I stubbled across the Micky Thompson Classic Big Rigs. Was wondering if anyone had them. I really want black wheels and they only come in chrome. Probably would just powercoat them. Should i go this route or just stick to regular wheels? Also any pics of big rig wheels would help my decision.

Love those wheels! I think they look better without the cover.

I bought the Amercan Eagle wheels (style 058 I think). Was looking for the big rig look too. One piece wheels made in the USA. Don't remember what the max load rating is, but it was significantly better than the other wheels I looked at. Also, no clear coat to peel later. A little Mothers polish now and then and they look great.
