Help picking out new Wheels and Tires!

Ok kids, I'm looking to replace my wheels and tires.

I would like something that does not stick out as far as mine, I don't care what the cost is. Would prefer top quality stuff and good looks are mandatory

I want to stay with 35's but open to wheel size. Your help is appreciated as I'm having a hell of a time with this. Here's a pic of my hostage wheels 20" with 35's.

Hey Michael,

I REALLY like my setup of 18x9 Black Rhino's and 35 BFG's.

Here is a recent picture.

Go get you a set of those SVT 18"

Plenty of HD wheels still out there too. Unless you just have to have the 20".

I would offer to trade you even, but I'm sure my tiny 16's aren't up your alley If those end up on CL down there I might be taking a trip

Staying with all black, or can some of the wheel be polished or chrome?

Would you consider 18" wheels to allow a bit more sidewall?

If I could find 5 brand new ones I'd consider it.

Nothing used guys

I love my 18" wheels, but I have also considered 20's... While I like the look of American Force wheels, Fuel has a really nice lineup right now! Shoot, they have my future wheels if I can ever scrape together the cash.

One day, these wheels will be on my Ex!



Good luck with what you choose. Oh, and you may want to look around the Custom Offset site, they have a nice wheel and tire calculator setup.

David those would look good on your Ex, please keep in mind that although I have a black ex everything has a gleaming shine even my tires and wheel wells. Don't think anything flat would work.

I never said this was going to be easy

You and I seem to have similar taste in excursions so don't give up on me.

Oh, I never thought that you would go for those wheels, I was just posting an example

Maybe something more like these (but not too sure how you feel about chrome):



Here is how they would look



I think the biggest issue is that there are a TON of crappy designs out there... This is like a grownup "Wheres Waldo" game, frustrating until you know you have found him!
