Ooh. I like the bottom one too. Kinda a mixture of newer style and old school slots! What brand are those?

Love the bottom ones. If they made them in 20's or 22's I would own a set.

Re: which wheels you guys

I was looking at the available sizes and backspacing,

15x7....4in bs
15x8....4.5in bs, and 3.75in bs
15x10..4in bs

You didnt state if your truck is lowered or going to be lowered but I see some issues if it is or is going to be lowered.

Re: which wheels you guys

I'd love a set of the bottom wheels on mine in 8's and 10's. But it'd have to go lower. They really look great.

I agree with everyone too, bottom set, but 8 front and 10 rear. Nice newer style.

Re: which wheels you guys

I'd go with that bottom set like everyone else. Those top wheels look good in a book but have some weird angles on them when you see them in person.

Re: which wheels you guys

I'd say bottom too.

But I would run 10" all around. I just don't like having different sizes but that's just me. If you were to run 10" in the front I think you have to have a certain backspace otherwise you can lock up the steering. Maybe someone can chime in and tell you for sure though.
