How do you guys decide on wheels?

Without digging up all the pictures...
So far I've looked at Method Double Standard (machined), Raceline Clutch (probably bronze but not sure), Mamba M14 (machined), Vision Manx 2 Overland (gray), Black Rhino Mint (gray-though to be honest these are a little more than I wanna spend). All 17's. There's probably others too I looked at but dismissed because they cost too much.
My biggest thing is I do not want black wheels, which cuts my selection by probably 75%, but there are still quite a few I like.
I have used CustomOffsets quite a bit, but a few of the wheels I picked out that I like seemingly nobody is running. The Vision Manx 2 Overland for example, I like it because it's a simple good looking wheel but I can pretty much only find pictures of it on Jeeps and a couple Tacomas.

As mentioned, a wheel visualizer may help in your decision. We offer one on our website and most manufacturers have one too - this is from Vision's website.
I think the Manx 2 Overland would look sharp, but I feel like the wheel visualizer doesn't capture how it will actually look on the truck. This may be one of those instances where you just need to trust your gut!

I have used your wheel visualizer (along with some others I've come across). It does help though sometimes the wheels look a little "off" (I know, nature of the beast). May have to just make a decision and stick with it.

Admittedly our 7-150 selection is lite, but we can order most wheel brands/models offered in 7-150 or that comes in a "blank" cast. Raceline, XD Series and Moto Metal just to name a few.

The wheels I found and like are from your competition and are kind of their brand wheel so I have been looking around at others since I have been getting all my tires from you here at the Alcoa TN store for quite a while.

Hey so here's a question...howcome when I go on your site and put in that I have a 2016 F150, the Manx 2 Overland isn't listed? In fact I can't even find it searching just Vision wheels on your site.

I knew the rough "category" I was looking for. I came across what I thought was a good looking set that I hadn't seen on any other F150. Took me about 5 months to make a decision. Lot's of threads reviewed and photoshop helped.

... I may be in the market for new wheels again for the 3rd time on this truck. 
I have it narrowed down to 3 and the Con 6's are one of them. I've been doing the 'rent a wheel' thing on this truck. Buy new wheels, run them for a while, then sell them on craigslist or facebook marketplace for a decent price and buy some new wheels.
