I was also thinking some rallies with disk brake hubcaps
17x7 or 8s with 4.5" backspace and 255/60/17 or so tire

I like the Ridler's. That is the wheel I have picked out for my 86, but mine are going to be Chrome. The black will look sharp on the gunmetal and so would the chrome.

What would help, is to have a rendering done with your truck and the wheels that you like. That way you can see what the wheels would look like with you color of truck.
I had this done, and that is what made my decision, because I was looking at the Torq Thrusts also.

How did you get that rendering done? I have a side shot that should be fairly easy to do that

Those Ramblers are what I've been looking at.

I like them both! but would personally defer to a 5 spoke. I always thought the Intro Pentia looked nice
