Thanks for all the suggestions/opinions so far. The Fuel Anza wheels are still my top choice although I can't seem to shake the Rockstars. I even found a centercap being sold online for the Rockstars without the "star".
These would set me back another $200, which is ridiculous. I'd take a grinder to the stars before buying these.
I'm planning to buy a tire-wheel combo online with free shipping (avoid the taxes and shop fees). I already checked the local discount tire and it would be close to $300 more for the same package. Also, just like when I installed the 35s, I can't just drop the VX off and pick it up with new wheels ready to go. I'll need to clearance the rear wheel well first.
Billy, check out trail worthy fab. I was originally looking into this option for bead locks but the prices went up significantly and many complained about balancing the tires. Still pretty cool if you go with the cut Bajas or Mt/Rs.

Jo, The stockers do look great in black. I thought they were too narrow, do you happen to know the width? I vaguely recall 7.5".
