Default Thinking about new rims and tires

Ok so for the longest time now I swore that I wouldnt change the rims on my truck but im tired of having like 3 tire options for my 14's and because I work for Firestone I can get any tire I want for pennies on the dollar.Im not as concerned about the tires I want but more concerned about rims that will look good and fit right. 90 percent of my truck has dark accents ( bug guard, rain guard's, tonneau, tinted lights,and tint) i was thinking somthing black or with some kind of black accent (try to keep the theme going on the truck). I intend on running a 235/75/15 tire. I might even go with a nice stock alloy like this like the one in the pic I attached ( those are 16's but im cool with that).

So give me honest opinions and suggestions, i attached a pic of my truck too.

Great pick 08RangerSport,I was actually looking into the Soft 8's. They are very simple and nostalgic. I was thinking maybe Soft 8's but instead of using their center caps Id use my oe ones. Hurley- i know you mentioned Pro Comps and AE's, do you have a pic of what you have in mind? Ive had my ups and downs about what I like and dislike. I dont wanna be that guy that has the truck that he thinks is totally awesome but everyone else thinks its looks like garbage.
