Replacing the Ugly 16"

I have been wanting to replace the ass ugly, space craft type, chrome wheels that came standard on my '98 Sport.

They are 16" rims and give the truck a cosmopolitan street truck look. I would much rather have a tougher, more rugged looking rim but am having trouble locating manufacturers. The Tire Rack does not show any wheels for Explorers.

Could anybody provide the wheel dimensions and some good brand name wheels for the Explorer?

Which rims do you have? I'm looking for the 5-spoke teardrop style, 16" aluminum. Is this what you're looking to get rid of?

I have the three spoke chrome wheels that came on the Explorer Sport for '98 the only year and vehicle. They are 16x8 and I don't think they look good imho.

I like the Mickey Thompson looks but don't think they make it in my 5x4.5 configuration.
