What wheels are these?

I saved this pic to my computer a while back because I liked the wheels. Anyone know what they are and the rim and tire size? Thanks

American Racing Torque Thrust 2 wheels. Look like 17s to me. No idea on tire size. Beautiful truck though.

Very nice truck. Why do the 17s & 18s look "right" sometimes and not others? I love how the 17s fit this one.

I think they are 17" X 8" with 255/50R17 tires. It's hard to tell without a better picture of the tires.

I think it looks right because he has the stance/tire/wheel/ combo nailed. Or maybe it those round headlights...

Re: What wheels are these?

Usually 17s look too small to me... usually because the owner runs a low profile tire on the wheel, instead of one that retains the original tire diameter. I like a wheel/tire combo that fills the wheel well. I think this set looks better simply because everything is black... the body, the wheel wells & the tires. It makes the smaller tires sort of just blend into the surroundings. From a different angle or with different lighting, I bet the wheel/tire size wouldn't look nearly as good.
