Rim Question

I have a 2006 4x4 xlt screw. It is stock as far as suspension and wheels.
I need new tires and really want to get some black rims.
I don't want them any bigger or wider or anything and I for sure don't want them to stick out any further than the stock ones.
I just want them to look nice and be black but same size and all.
Can someone tell me what size and backspacing and all I would be looking for.
Also can someone point me to a good site or company that makes a nice solid rim but not out of this world price wize?

Thanks for any help.

Your OEM wheels are 7.5 inches wide with 5.5 inches of backspacing. However, no one makes an aftermarket that size. The closest would be an 8 inch wide wheel with 5.5 inches of BS, which would stick out 1/2 inch farther than your OEM wheels. Have you considered powdercoating or painting your OEM wheels black?

I guess a 1/2 inch would not be to bad just don't want that look with the tires hanging out of wheel wells.

My OEM rims are those crappy steel ones with the chrome hubcaps attached to them.
