When I look at ads for custom wheels in truck mags I've noticed a lot of 6-lug 6 spoke/slot contemporary wheels. Many new trucks have gone to 6-lug,maybe not x 5.5".
8-lug wheels are generally targeted towards the 4wd market,although most are only good for the street,IMO. There have been pretty many threads on 8-lugs and even 6-lugs. I'm not sure what you are looking for. The ones I always show are normal diameter classic designs I'm sure you've seen. I'm not up on the trendy end of the wheel thing. But,truck magazines have plenty of ads and corresponding websites with what seems like an abundance of styles.
