Default Wheel Predicament

OK my dad and I will be lifting my 88' pioneer this next weekend(4.5"). He's giving me a set of 265/70/17 Bridgestone all-terains off of his new truck. Since I didn't have to buy new tires I have a little over $700 to spend on wheels. I have until tomorrow to decide which wheels I want. Please help I don't know which wheels will look best on my jeep.

I'm thinking maybe polished with some black in them. That might go good with the bushwhackers.

Any suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated.

Heres a pic of the heep as of now.

Do a search for black rock wheels. They're my personal preference and what I'm gonna get when the budget allows.

Ya the Black Rocks are nice, but they are one of the few brands that discount Tire sells so I cant get those. My dad gets a really good discount from DT.
