Well, you can get the factory chrome clad wheels.
I got 2007 Chrome expedition wheels for 150.00 shipped on ebay. Ive got 33x11.3 on my truck. I could definetly fit 35x1250.
If you dont like the factory look or your budget is much bigger, you can always find chrome wheels on ebay or craigslist for a good price.
American racing, cragar, pro comp have some nice chrome wheels.
Here are the factory chrome clad wheels on my truck. They dont look too bad and I got them for dirt cheap.
I hope I helped.

ok, Thought I could help.
When you get that suspension on, give some details and show some pics.
Thats my next step.
Good luck with it.

With the lift you will need a 9" wide wheel with 5 inches of backspacing. This is a common size in 17 or 18". Look at Motto Metal, American Racing or Pro Comp just to name a few.

I bought Eagle Alloy Series 079 polished w/black 18x9 with 5" offset
140.00 each at discount tire
I bought Toyo 325/65r18 for 220.00 each same place.


Discount Tire prices were higher. So I shoped first. took my info there and they beat (lowered there price) the price I had found.

Here is a link for wheel ideas

Good luck
