going old school to older school

I sold my MT classic II's and bfg KM2's yesterday. Looking for new wheels and tires for next spring/summer. 99% I will do Trail Grapplers for tires.
As for size and style, I prefer simple over flashy. For me, I am thinking more low key than "look at me!". I'm going with one of these two for wheels.

I know, boring, but I live in a neighborhood that I don't really want to attract attention. I'm going to get a new front bumper, painted gloss black. I have a new rear bumper that is gloss black. Going to get a black bull bar, new L style smoked headlights and black cased driving/fog lights for the bull bar. Tint is going to happen too.
Eventually, will go back to duals out the back, and get rid of the L side exhaust to rid the chrome from the passenger side.

Any thoughts?

Just my opinion.
I dig the truck the way it is.
If it were mine, The black wheels arent the worst of ideas but I'm not so sure a black bumper, bull bar and smoked heads are a good look for that color of truck. It's got a nice clean look to it. I think the black wheel setup with the trail grapplers will look better with the ptm bumper and clean headlight look vs the smoked heads and a giant black bumper.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I sold the tires and wheels, so it's too late for anything with those. Nothing set in stone, but just kicking around ideas. I liked the look I had too, but was getting bored with it. I don't have a garage anymore, so I'm looking for a low maintenance style, I guess.
I like both your of your guys' trucks. Hell, srt8t, you change looks more than anyone around here!

If you decide to go with one of these wheels, go with the modulars. To me the d-rings just look too cheap in person.
