On newer trucks, like Squares and beyond I feel you have to goto a larget wheel.

Those tend to look like cheap jewelry. They need to have a decent lip, a nice simple design that isn't overly elaborate and at least 3.5" of sidewall. I had some 22s picked out for my truck untill I saw Wheel Vintiques 18" ralleys, the best of both worlds to me.

i agree with both....i think the wheel (big or smaller) has to fit the look/style of the vehicle and suspension setup....i think the biggest rear size that looks good on a lowered 2wd truck is 22", & i think 20" max for the front....i think most bigger rims look good on customs, although it can vary....most "original" looking rides look better with a 15-17"....but i like the idea of having a set of both smaller & larger wheels...then you can run two totally different looks to fit your mood
