 awesome tech.
There isnt much variety of 'mags' as i alloys out there. They will mostly have to be drilled and machined out to suit the hub and stud pattern.
Unless you mean mags as steelies?

Rubbish!
Most offroad alloys are designed for the US market and there are literally dozens of vehicles with the same wheel PCD as sierra. Bruy (  ) anything that suits an F100, F150, Bronco, et and enjoy the bountiful selection of wheels styles, sizes and offsets.

Wheels are a personal thing, what one person likes might not be your cup of tea.
Personally I get half a bar looking at these pics of Daz7's wheel & tyre combo.  The other ones are Zukenutter's Superlites/Watanbee's
16x5.5 Origin Rims with 7.00x16 Maxxis Creepy Crawlers

Really depends if he's willing to buy from the US.
There would be sellers here but too expensive here atm.
And what looks good? Really depends on your taste, not everyone elses.

Soon the US markets will crash and it will be another great depression and you could probably buy lowrange for the same price as a suzuki. I'd wait till then to buy things from america. 8th of August or something?

No, but is your suzuki legal with 15X8's? My guess is no.
Are legal tyres for a suzuki (so 235 75's maximum) legal on an 8" rim - no
It's a moot point.

235/75's are 29's right?
I thought they weren't legal on a zook?

Yeah, I guess - in any case- nothing 29" or under is going to be happy on an 8" rim.
31's are legal if you start with a trayback sierra.  - still no reason to run an 8" rim - and it still doesn't make an 8" rim legal, even if a 31 is legal.

Hang on, I'm thinking QLD rules, I don't know what you guys are allowed but I thought we weren't regardless.
It would be nice to see some actual calculations about how much it changes everything (i.e. stopping distance and maneuverability e.t.c.)
Understanding that the main problems are the height gained and the decreased effectiveness of the brakes due to the larger diameter of the tyre

my sierra - SPOA on 15x7 -15 rims and 31x10.5 tyres. manouvrability isnt an issue =) stopping distance is negligable - if anything the brakes work better cos theyre less inclined to lock up and put you into a skid! lol
as for mags on a sierra... meh.. they can look ok but theres no great advantage in running them.
