Opinions on these wheels
Guys I need opinions on these wheels. The pic is of some 18's . I know it's a crappy photoshop job, but it's the best my friend could do.
I have 15's on there right now, so I know it's hard to get an accurate guess on how much they will fill the wheel well. thanks

Well, the rear is dropped 4 inches. I really think that they look like they are 15's or 16's in the pic.

Frankly, I really don't like those wheels. I don't think I'd like them on any vehicle, but they really don't look like they belong on a truck to me. Then again, you can't please everyone and the only one that matters is yourself.

I agree with most of the others that you need to either drop the truck more, add more tire or go with another rim. Big rims only look right on slammed trucks and imo stepsides look better with smaller rims and more tire.

To be perfectly honest, I really like what is on the truck now. 5-stars are pretty cool, kinda like torque thurst, but not really...

I guess if I decided to go with that wheel I'm not sure what tire to go with to try to fill the wheel well more. Like I said up top I have 4 inch drop springs in the rear. On this pic some PO heated the springs. I have since bought the drop springs and they are on it now. I love the pic that Brainchild did, on the other hand my wife says they look like they should be on a car also. I really think with a little more tire they would look okay, I'm just having a hard time.

If it were my truck I'd keep the wheels that are on there and just bring the truck down some.

If you can'd decide, keep the ones you have and spend the $$$$$$$$$$ on a paint job!
