Default Want a different look

I want to swap out the stock aluminum wheels on my '93 bravada for some decent (nothing fancy) black steel wheels. Any body have some pointers on which ones I should consider. Can I find black steel wheels that are the same dimensions as stock? The cragar steels don't look bad. Is there gonna be a huge weight difference between the stock aluminum and a steel wheel?
Thanks

Plenty of documentation on the forum about black rims...sooo many people have them.

The most popular are the Cragar Soft 8's. The other common one are the Procomp version of the black steelie. All are around $40-$60/rim. You need to look for 5x4.75 bolt pattern and 4"+ of backspacing. The Cragar's only come in 4" BS, so that's all you'd be able to get. As far as weight goes you probably won't see much difference. If anything it may be a bit lighter.
