Your profile doesn't say what model of truck you have but since you have split rims you probably have six or 8 lug rims. I like the looks of the rally style wheels on the 6 lug and 5 lug trucks to make for a dressy but still stock looking truck even if the rims are the wrong year for the particular truck.

True the rally rims aren't stock to the particular trucks but they have the outward appearance of being stock to the general passerby.

For an 8 lug truck the mid 70's/early 80's stock rims should be pretty inexpensive in 16 inch. I have 16x8 alloy rims but run a 245-16 tire that is the same size as my son's 2000 GM 4x. The good thing is that my speedometer is spot on when tracked by my handheld gps.
