Not those in the photo for starters!

I doubt they're load rated and the tyres are too small and definitely not load rated!

See if someone can photoshop your current wheels surf carrot so you can see what they look like? I think they really suit certain vans & have black wheels with a polished lip on mine although they are in need of a refurb. If you go the polished lip route, you really need to ensure they are cleaned/polished regularly or corrosion will take hold. Here's a pic of mine (I've absolutely no idea of the make though!):
