Help W/ Picking Wheels

I wasn't joking when i told you all that i wasn't leaving and some may flame me for this, but again all dodge forums suck at this point and i been here long enough to know that you guys are helpful and have taste.

I'm used to going for the sporty look, but this is a whole different ball game. I'm sorta going for a clean DUBish look, so to speak.
With that being said, i would greatly appreciate any feedback/suggestions/opinions/ or help with this homework of mine.

Heres an image of the citadel:



So far its a toss between these:

1.


2.


3.


4.


5.


6.


7.


8.



Keep in mind that i haven't choose a finish yet or know exactly what style i want. If possible, can someone help me with Photoshop on a few of these? really appreciate it. I have a few more in mind, but im tired as F....... 2 be continued.

i would go w wheel #4 bro. I think black touched wheels only belong on black cars, not a fan of flush wheels, lipped wheels look aggressive and give major styling points. I'm old school and loooooove chrome, its classic, anything w chrome and a lip w style is +1 in my book.....

I'd say something with a lip for what you're going for. #1 is my favorite.

5 spoke flare styles always look good on SUVs.





Or you can do something totally wild and go super concave on SUV

Go for the five-o look with black steel rims that you won't have to worry about when you're jumping curbs to catch a perp. Then get a front end push bar and an a-pillar floodlight

IMHO, I hate the "dub" look and all those rims look cruddy to me!

I love seeing american cars decked out in "police trim" though. Quite intimidating and looks great.

I would personally stay away from multi-spoke wheels... It might not look good or blend in well with your Dodge SUV

A wheel that has no more than 6 spokes... 5 the better that comes with thinner spokes... It just gives the wheel a much larger diameter look/ effect in it.

Black on Black is most. def. sick. I don't want to do the whole "Murder" look on this project. I also don't want too much chrome. In fact i want to switch out my headlights to the blacked out version on R/Ts. Dont get me wrong though, i love me some chrome, my c320 had 2 different lowenharts on them. Thanks for your opinion.

#1 is so clean. Only thing that im tentative about on those are in some angles, it looks weird, but i also haven't seen these on too many rides.

OEM wheels are awesome wheels ..... for winter lol. I need something to dress up the Citadel for a fresh summer feel.

S5's are on point, i kind of want the concave look, but maybe with thicker spokes. I don't want nothing to thin that will show my non brembo rotors lol. Im hoping brembo or rotora makes a BBK for me. I dont like my brakes at all.
Speaking of concaves .... pictures this:

The police look is not my style. Its funny because i bought an SUV, but my front bumper is so low that i cant go over curbs lol. The dub look can be tacky if its done wrong. Im shooting for more of a VIP look. I might add on some side steps.

Im all the way up here in Alaska. I need those for winter, but ebay has them for sale. Not a bad price either.

If its done right, it can look stellar. So many of the American SUV's are a disgrace because people tend to go really flashy. I just want a OEM look with a hint of class.
