I've got the stock size Allied Wheel Component (AWC) Series 887 aluminum wheels:



Those accompanied by my 33" tires makes a pretty good combo on my truck IMO.



Heres the website for my wheels, you should take a look at AWC's wheels if you're in the market. Mine are goin' on 3 or 4 years old and they still look fantastic! They are kind of dirty in that picture but when I clean my truck they look brand new.

The truck looks sweet man. I'm currently in the market or well soon will be for some new rims and tires for my ride. However most trucks rims IMO wont look good on my truck mainly due to the running boards.

Ahh yes, you have the lower truck. Well I have always liked the look of the classic American Racing 5-spoke wheels on lowered trucks. This is what I'm talking about:



http://www.americanracing.com/wheels/details.asp?wheelid=168&name=Torq%20Thrust%20II%20 Custom%20Offset%20(chrm%20center)&style=C405&desc= 2-piece%20alloy,%20polished%20rim,%20chrome%20center &section=V

If I had a lowered truck those would definitely be my wheels of choice. You see 'em on hot rods a lot, and they look great on lowered trucks, ie, not too beaner-ish. No offense.

In this picture Skan you can see my truck (sort of). It's the most recent picture that I can find right off hand from when I was installing new headlights on my Mazda. I know I need to find something to fill in the fenders both in width and height! The truck currently has 30x9.5 on a 15 inch factory rim.

Just some inexpensive wheels I got from Schwabs. They're Ultra Type 61 15"x10". Mine are 5 bolt.



I have a set of those American Racing 5 spokers, for a Chevy I had, and a set of Ultra 50/51 polished I got for a 2wd Ranger I drove, stacked in my back yard. Just waiting for the right car to come along.

Well in response to both of your posts guys: I personally don't like wheels that are much bigger than the stock 15 inches. I think on trucks (especially lifted) I like to see more rubber and less metal. My favorite look is to have tiny wheels with BIG HONKIN tires. On the other hand Stealth, if you're truck is lowered and you want to fill up the wheel wells I would lean more towards maybe a 17-18" wheel with a decent amount of rubber on it. I never did like the whole DUB fad, even though it was totally part of my generation (I'm a 19 y/o college student). I like those HD wheels that DJ posted, but I like the American Racing ones better Always had a soft spot for 'em. Heres a picture of my buddy's Sonoma with those wheels:

Don't that look nice!?

Good luck on your search.
