Default Help me pick out some awesome black wheels!!!

Alright guys I'm looking for some new 17" black wheels and I'm having trouble deciding on one. I've decided I need to go with something in the 17x8 to 17x10 range that has atleast 4.75 backspace and a negative offset. I like the xd addicts alright and they have the right backspace and I like the ATX Crawl wheel from American racing so far. The Crawl is a 17x8 with 4.50 backspace and 0mm offset. I can't decide if this wheel will make my 315 70 17 tires stick put past the fender flares enough. If anyone is running this wheel please post up some pics! I really want my tires to stick out a little past the fenders at minimum. Also anyone that has some recommendations for some awesome blacks wheels please let me know! Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks

I have 17x9's with 4.5 inches of backspacing and 33x12.50 tires. Here's a pic to show you how far that combo will "stick out".

I have MB Chaos 17x8.5's w/ 4.75 backspacing. I like them well enough. But the wheels I really think look sharp are the Rugged Ridge wheels. They're offered in painted silver, aluminum, aluminum & black, and all black. They look shaaaaaaaarp!

Sigh, one day maybe.

Thanks for the quick replies! I do like the bmf m80 wheels and I really like the rugged ridge black wheels. Just wish I could find them cheaper somewhere they're Both over $800 a set

Are those 37'' tires? looks like a lot of side wall for an 18'' wheel. Looks great. What lift are you running?

I've had the same problem and recently found the Monsters. This is the first pic of them I've seen them on a Wrangler and WOW. I saw them on a Hummer today and was impressed. I am probably putting them on Nitto Tera Grapplers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they only come in 18+, no 17's.
