Got my new wheels... opinions?

I replaced my 20's w/ 18's. I wanted to get an "E" rated tire for towing my trailer. The higher rated tire was about 100 more per tire in the 20 inch size and since I wanted larger sidewall I decided to replace everything. Plus, I wanted to get away from the "street" look of my old rims. Here's before and after:

I went w/ Nitto Terra Grapplers. I've heard good things, plus affordable E rated tire.

I like them but I agree there isnt enough black to go with it but I still like it. I have always been a fan of chrome looking ones but them are nice

i had that feeling you were gonna say Nitto Terra Grapplers. they are very popular and for a good reason. they are very sturdy tires

Looks Good! Perhaps some black fender flares would balance things out? I think they'd look good anyway.
