The cheapest i know of are the Crager Soft 8 steel wheels. Lots of people run them on here. Probably what I will end up getting to run 35s on a 17x8 rim. Cheap to replace if you bang one up. $47ea

I don't believe I've ever seen blacked out factory wheels, but if done correctly I bet it could look custom. Do it! Do it! Do it! (Hear the crowd chanting?)

Default I run Black Rock Steelies
They're probably about the same as the cragars as far as price, but they might have some different style options and backspacing!

You can look at my picture album to see blacked out Moabs using Dupli-Color spray on bed liner. Write up on here as well.

Those look great
That looks as good or even better than a lot of other black wheels that I've seen
I was debating on selling my stock Moabs but I think I'll keep them and do this

I got the 15" black aluminum MB72 wheels with 35" KM2 package that Discount Tire is/was running. 1750 for all 5 with TPMS and road hazard package. Would have been ~1500 without.

Duplicolor bedline!
Sandpaper and acetone.
Tape off tires and take your time. Total cost for five wheels was around 50$
8 hours of labor( drying time and removing tires).
