I special ordered my black rock steel rims, 975 series. Had to wait a couple weeks but they look awesome. Here's a shot of them. (15x8 with 4" BS) Had to grind the caliper a bit.

Not sure what tire size your thinking, but I wish I would not have gone with a 16" rim.

For 35" tires it's great, but now I'm thinking 37" tires and there is just about no obtions for a 37" tire on a 16" rim.

If you are SURE you will not go bigger than 35" rubber, than carry on.

My brother in law just bought these (these are 15", not 16")

The have less spacing so, in theory, he will not have to worry about bumping his calipers when he puts 35" tires on them. I believe the price listed is a 10% discount and he got free shipping on them so you may be able to find this wheel in 16".

The Black Rock Series 950's look pretty sick. I have not seen anyone with these yet.

I almost got the 950's, They look cool except for that little thing that looks like an exclamation point in between the bigger spaces.
Not sure how much more 16's cost than 15's but I got all 5 of my black rock series 975 (pictured above) for $400 including shipping. Sorry but I can't list the vendor as I will get in trouble.
