Default What style of rims should I buy

I'm 16 and just bought this 86 f150 flareside 4x4. Two of the chrome wheels have significant rust on them. I can't decide on what style of rims to buy. outlaw, steelies, etc... I'm looking for 16x8's and lug pattern 5x5.5. Preferably alloy but steels are fine. Thanks.
Extra info: inline 6 with only 115k miles. The last two owners over three years haven't driven it at all hardly. It's so straight and the body is so well aligned I could sit for an hour just admiring how smooth the doors open and close. It's a 4 speed. No granny. The truck itself is road ready after I re-wire the rear lights, rebuild/ clean the carb, and get new rims and tires. Other stuff is just a to-do list and not urgent. Not serious rust. All will come off with paint prep.

Hey way to go. You got yourself a keeper. It might look good with these wheels. https://www.customwheeloffset.com/bu...=5x5.5,5x139.7

I think this ride looks good. Kinda like yours https://www.customwheeloffset.com/wh...-4-custom-rims but yours would look better with black rims.

Thanks, I like that style of wheel. Those are a bit out of my price range and the race line are a bit too modern for the truck I think but they look cool. I'm going to go with a set of bullet hole steelies and a set of beauty rings and chrome center caps. It's much cheaper, still durable, and its time period correct. Thanks for the suggestions!

Can't go wrong with Wagon wheels white. Black. Chrome. If you put anything else newer they just look flashy in a bad way
