Not a fan of Lariat wheels, so this is what I did... powder coated dark color

The basic design of the Lariat wheels are fine, but the bright aluminum milling on top surfaces just doesn't match the dark colors of the sport appearance option, and isn't my taste. So I found a shop that powder coats wheels and picked a dark color. Much better in my opinion...

This is a great idea. The wheels were my main reluctance to order the Lariat - which I ended up doing anyway.
Very good chance I'll steal your idea :).

I see you put Michelin defenders on it also. Are those the stock size tire?

Sold my Goodyear Wranglers for $700 and put the Michelins on. Michelins didn't come in 255/65R18 but the Discount Tire lookup suggested 265/60R18. They turned out to be 1.7% smaller, 30.5 instead of 31.1 diameter.
The Michelins are great, but I wanted something more aggressive for winter and for off road, so this week went with Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascent. They're 255/70R18 so 1 inch taller than spec at 32.1
Saw where @Alaska Steve put this size on his Ranger which looked great. Very happy with the Bridgestones and larger size looks right for the truck. Now to get an upsized spare to match the larger tire. Here's a pic with new Bridgestones.
