Thanks for the replies and votes guys and gals!

I'm not a big fan of black wheels and my fiancee isn't either. I thought we could try it out if you guys all thought it would look great, but that's not the case so I'll cross that option out.

The picture of the M style wheel is a 20" but it was just a generic pic I found online. The wheel shop says I can use my current tires with the new 22" wheels so it would have the same amount of rubber on there. I am a fan of keeping a relatively OEM look as opposed to getting very aftermarket style wheels.

barbja - this wouldn't replace the sofa although I am saving up for the wedding. I don't think this will break the bank though (I'm getting quotes of $1200 cash installed from a local wheel shop with my own tires or $1100 shipped from another shop). I like the idea of feeling I'm going into a new car though because I'm kinda bored with the current look, but I love my truck so I'm not looking to get a new car.

Hmmm.... decisions decisions. I'll wait a little longer before deciding. Thanks for the opinions everybody and please keep them coming

Barbara (barbja) was nice enough to do some photoshopping and here is what she came up with. I'm going to provide higher quality pics to get a better sense of the look with the 22" M wheels:
