What rims would make this thing looks better?

Im not really feeling my new rims, they seem a bit to black, and too small. I was thinking maybe a 17 or 18inch rim, with a better width, like 8-9 inches, with a better offset? Also I dont know if a spoked rim would look to good because of the ugly brake calipers ect behind these trucks. Heres the truck

Read your other thread............keep the truck.

I have always loved the simple Eagle 059's. Not a fan of spoked rims.

Or a MT equivalent....

I actually have ^^^^^^ these rims for my old F350, but need to get them polished and have a lug hole fixed.

Just throwing some chrome lugs and center caps on would help. Since you just have limited chrome on the truck, I dont think that would be too much. A 17" or 18" wheel will still look pretty good wrapped with a 35" tire. You will still have plenty of sidewall without looking gaudy. You can always paint your calipers/drums, paint kits are usually less than $20.

I have always kind of like these wheels, I was going to put them on my last truck had it been painted black.

I'm liking that all black look a lot so I don't think you need to do anything. A red pinstripe along the rim bead might be cool?
