New Wheel Dilemna

So I am having a real issue choosing a new wheel for my truck. I am changing from the 17" factory wheel to a 16" wheel on a 2001 F150 4X4 supercrew.
I have the 315 75 R16 BFT AT KO sitting in my garage just waiting to be thrown on some new wheels. I have come down to two different ones that i like. They are the American Racing Nitros and the Drive Off Road Blitz-Black. I know they are 2 different looks. Will the black ones be better for off-road? I heard that the powder coating is tougher than the chrome.
I am in Iraq so all I can do is look at pics and try and decide. Any help would bbe great.

It is the black on gold. I am going to get rid of the gold color though, and have it painted all black.

I think the Moto Metals would look nice. If you haven't checked this out already,

Plenty of members with black trucks/wheels to check out.

Ok i ordered the **** Cepeks today. Those and 35's ought to look good. Also with the rims i ordered the 3" body lift. Since suspension lifts are illegal in maine. Oh well, i will have to wait until i move to throw a suspension lift on.
