Any reputable wheel/tire shop can advise you on suitable wheels ( bolt pattern, load capacity of the wheels, etc.) for your tires.
Discount Tires Direct.com has a large selection that will fit your tires. Mine are stock 20" tires.

DEFINITELY talk to my friends at @Discount Tire to get your rims, and tell them I sent you. You can message them through this forum. They are who set me up with my black rims for my Ascent. More importantly, they know what the Ascent needs to safely perform on the road, and they know what lug nuts each rim choice requires for the Ascent, and they know if you will need hub centric rings as well.
They'll get you set up with rim choices that can carry the Ascent's weight, on and off road, as well as the proper hardware to properly mount those rims to your Ascent.
They carry a wide selection of rims, from delicate looking ones (that are strong enough to carry the Ascent), like mine... to really beefy looking ones like the Method MR502. If you're not near a Discount Tire store, they can ship rims and tires directly to your favorite installer.

Thank you for the recommendations. Rosie, you can get an idea as to what is available online by searching by vehicle Discount Tire or we are happy to help if you shoot us a PM.

A few people have had their powder coated instead of getting new ones.

Use Plasti Dip. You can do all 4 wheels for $25 today! I did this on my last outback too.

Did you Plasti Dip all the chrome trim too, or are those wrapped?

How's it holding out, especially under your types of use?

Just playing in the snow now we will find out when storms start. It was really a good product on my Outback. Went 2 years without it peeling on those wheels.

Just an FYI, I Plasti-Dipped the rusting front bumper on a Suzuki Samurai I own. No prep other than a wash and let-dry. That was 3 years ago and still holding up great. No peel but maybe a little fade since it's parked outdoors. I am not sure since it's dirty this time of year as I use this car a lot to go skiing. (Crazy drivers on snow covered mountain roads and $45,000 Ascent don't mix if there's a $3,000 Samurai in the barnyard.)
Did you remove the pieces or just paint and tape-off areas while on the car?
