I'd go a completely different wheel all together, but if you like it, go ahead. You can buy powdercoated black wheels for the same price or just a little bit more. Like the ones I linked above. Summit also carries Cragar brand and their selection is pretty large with the same priced wheels.

I think you're making a good decision by sticking with alloy wheels. It minimizes unsprung weight.

As far as color, what color is your truck? How about painting the insets (recessed areas) an accent color like red or ice blue (e.g.) Maybe charcoal?

You have lots of options! If you paint them yourself, just make sure you prep the aluminum properly or the paint won't last long. Then a coat of clear over the whole wheel would be best - preferrably a laquer like OEM.

HTH!
