I need different wheels!

I'm planning on buying a set of black wheels with a polished or machined lip, but I'm not sure if I want to increase size by an inch or 3, or just stay with the 17 inch size. I have a 4x4 and don't plan on lowering it, and I'm thinking with a 4x4 it's about the tire and not the wheel, any opinions on this? does anyone have pictures of black wheels on a non-lowered 4x4, 17-20 inches?

I was thinking more like black with a polished or machined lip, like the zinik z12. helo makes a pretty nice black wheel with chrome spoke accents, I don't know what sizes are available.

Mine is the sport package with the 17 inch 10 spoke wheels. I've been looking on the internet and so far I like the Helo HE442 wheels, they look pretty sharp..Only thing is they are 17x9 instead of 17x7.5, so I'd have to change the tire size. Does anyone have a picture of these on their truck?

It's not that I don't like the sport wheels, I just think black with a polished or machined lip would be better..I like that pimp look.

I'm thinking of moving up to 18's for improved handling..would there be a noticeable difference, or should I just stay with the 17 inch size that I have now?
