Personally I would stay with the stockers, but it is your truck. I think your truck looks great.
If you want to paint them, look at this thread;

You've got an F150 HD, it's a heavy payload package. AKcowboy has one, see if he's found some rim vendors.

and some people could custom drill the wheels if you get blanks.

go with the aftermarket rims you had picked out! most of the ones people posted below look like **** after a year or two, and dont flow well with the bodylines of the truck, minus the last one or two.
but honestly, the stockers look great too! I've always had a soft spot for meaty tires on stock rims.
