Your personal preference of rims size
 
What is your personal prefence and why if there is a reason. i personaly like the looks of 20's but my wallet likes 18's better

crackerjack 04-22-2012 12:28 AM

17's they're big enough for bigger brakes and still allows plenty of rubber to be wrapped around it, plus 17's are pretty much the smallest that the companies with nice rims go. i'm also not a big fan on big rims either though

UTAHFORD 04-22-2012 12:45 AM

ya i want 18's i think but i do love how my 20's look though but i also have 37's and dont think i can fo smaller on my rubber

06VT365 04-22-2012 10:58 AM

20's all the way. Big enough to look great, and still has plenty of rubber. But yes...they come with a $tag!

I've had 20's with 37's I've had 18's with 37's and 35's I've had 17's with 33's and 35's I've had 16's with 33's and 35's and 15's and 33's and 35's :jester:

Personally I don't want anything bigger than 18" wheels. I like more tire and less wheel. To me 17's with 35's is a perfect combo :alone:

UTAHFORD 04-22-2012 03:37 PM

yya i think 18's and 35's look good

schroederMP 04-22-2012 10:43 PM

17s for 35" tires or smaller. 20s for 37" tires or bigger... JMO

crackerjack 04-23-2012 10:05 AM

now i do like 10lug 19.5's on a 3rd gen dually wrapped with some heavy duty michelin or toyo semi rubber. of course this combo is strictly only for a towing/line road truck

Midnight Smoker 04-23-2012 10:54 AM

I prefer 20's but can only afford 17's :snoopfacepalm:

ssgjohnson 04-23-2012 11:23 AM

I always views the trucks with the nice 20+ rims as being pavement queens, whereas i have always been of the mind that you are supposed to put your truck to the test. I prefer the look of an 18 over a 20, but I have seen alot of trucks with the bigger rims that look good. If i were to find a 20 that i actually liked, and could afford the rubber for it, i wouldnt be against going up. i like my rims though... so it would take a special rim for me to make a change.

ssgjohnson 04-23-2012 11:23 AM

oh... and lets get takatalk or something on here...

Bdons-SD 04-23-2012 12:00 PM

Id like some 18s or 20s but I just got new tires so im stuck for awhile.

Agjake11 04-23-2012 12:15 PM

20's all the way. Theyre pricey but look right with the tire imo.

my old 16's and 35's had too much sidewall

Big'un 04-23-2012 10:37 PM

These days the 20s r not much higher than 17s etc so id go with 20s ..... Ive always wanted sum 20s ... Biggest thing ive had on a 4x4 was my 18" xd monsters.

If i were to buy sum rims now with me havn new tires id get sum moto metal 951s .... But next time ill prob go with 37s on 20s

crackerjack 04-24-2012 09:57 AM

UTAHFORD 04-26-2012 10:45 PM

he is speaking in toungues

06VT365 04-26-2012 11:39 PM

You could always put some spinners on them too!

Here is something funny, I was out at my brother in laws wheel and tire shop he works at last friday....he tells me he made his biggest sale on a set of wheels and tires ever.

24" Nutek Wheels with Carbon Fiber barrel and lip....$16,800 for wheels and tires!!!

I guess when you can have an Audi R8 you can afford $17 grand for wheels??

Simliar to these ones -


crackerjack 04-27-2012 12:14 AM

benz also has a couple cars with carbon fiber rims. saw one in vegas, i just don't remember what the name of it is. but i know it has a 6.2V8 in her

UTAHFORD 04-27-2012 01:27 AM

damn thtz crazy

06VT365 04-27-2012 11:00 AM

Maybe its cause I dont have the money...but even if I did, I feel I would still have a really hard time spending that much on wheels and tires!

Big'un 04-27-2012 11:03 PM

I spent $3000 on some xds and toyos :D

Bdons-SD 04-28-2012 12:02 AM

:boxed: damn...

crackerjack 04-28-2012 11:05 AM

you spent what!! i hope they were some big a$$ toyo's lol

06VT365 04-28-2012 11:01 PM

I almost spent 2200 on just toyo mt's but then went with my nitto trails instead for 1600.
I can see how wheels and toyos could be 3 grand!

Big'un 04-30-2012 09:47 PM

18x9 Monsters and 37x1350x18 toyo mts

I'm a 17s guy, I like the bigger tires on as small a rim as you can put on the truck. I haven't bought rims yet for my current truck, but I had an 05 Hemi that had the factory 20"s on it and I dropped them down to 17"s as soon as I could afford it
