Wheels opinions and suggestions

I am looking at wheels for my sig truck and need help. I can't decide exactly what I want. I'm in the process of blacking out all my chrome as you can see in the pic. I definitely want the wheels to be black with a little chrome but i can do all black if I like them enough.



Eagle Alloy 197



Pro Comp 152 Rock crawler series



Pro comp xtreme alloy deegan



Pro Comp 8101



I have a pic of my truck photoshopped with ultra baron wheels but I'm having trouble mentally picturing it because the chrome was still all there when this pic was taken


If anybody has suggestions for wheels that I haven't shown here please let me know!

I would say pro comp rock crawlers. To me the others are to flashy and I am not one for flashy wheels like that. Also in my opinion the pro comp 8101s look like crap especially on this gen trucks. Just my opinion.

KMC - Wheels

If I were to change the wheels on my truck that's what I would run, only I would go chrome.

Personally I would go with the Rock Crawlers.
In my opinion most modern looking rims look terrible on these trucks because they are old trucks, it just seems to flashy and out of place to put those rims on them.

+1 on all black, and the MTs Brad mentioned.

I've seen a few trucks with widened stock steel wheels and hubcaps that looked pretty tough, if you're looking for other options.

For the love of all that is holy, don't get the KMC Rockstars. They are EVERYWHERE. I see no less than 5 trucks a day that have them. To top it off they don't even look very good.

If it were my choice, the M/T's Brad suggested. Otherwise factory Alcoa's.

I hardly ever see rock stars down here. Like everyone else has said the newer modern wheels look weird on these trucks. The Rock star is modern but simple. The Rock crawler us a painted steel wheel with a beadlock ring. In California you can't run a true beadlock on the street legally.

I vote repainted steelies with some 255/85s, but of your provided choices I say rock crawlers.

I looked at the pictures of the wheels you posted and picked the Pro Comp 152 Rock crawler series. Then I read every post under yours and saw everyone else picked that wheel.

On old trucks the wheels that are popular now a days don't look good. Everyone else said that too.

I really like your truck and I think an old school wheel that's not flashy will look great and save you money.

'Nuff said?
