I like the MB's.

I got MB's on mine, except different model and size.

I think you have to go with the 6 spoke since they have 6 lugs, as the 5 spoke has 5 lugs?? Right?

I'm hoping to get those same wheels sometime soon. 6spoke 20's

I just got the MB Motoring express wheel this morning. I got the 18x9 with a 325/60r18 nitto tg tire and it looks awesome. I will get pics up in the next few days. Good luck getting them though, it took 3 weeks to get them and they told me that those were the only 4 wheels in that size currently in the nation. And we all know how hard it is to get the nittos also. So if you don't mind waiting it looks great. I also really like the eagle wheel which i almost got instead because of the long wait.

I like the MKW's in the 20's. I've seen them in person and wish I would have gotten them. Still, personal preference.

Those MB's are sweet.

I'll never be able to decide on what I want. Everyone here picks out the sweetest styles, I change my mind daily.

CHESTER...did you get the wheels and tires put on the truck yet? How do they fit? do you like them? do you have pictures yet?

I'm about 2 weeks away from buying my rims and tires and I want exactly what you have. Ive been beating myself up over what rims to get and what size. I was gonna go with 20's, but I just want a little more tire. Anyway, im all confused with this stupid offset and backspacing, so if you can post pics of your set up, I would really appreciate it. It would help me out a lot. Can you get some from the front and the back so I can see how far they stick out the sides? Thanks...

Patiently waiting, BREW

I'd go with the MB 20's.... They look killer, but you can't go wrong with the chrome 18's either. Good choice in tire size. Post some pics!

What do you mean by "he'll work you a deal"? did he make you a better deal on a package over the phone than you could've got online? I pretty much thought the price is what it is online and thats it. I know we cant talk price here but if you can let me in on if it was a big difference or whatever. Email me if you can. Thanks.

I'd choose the 6 star MB Motoring. I'd also opt for 20" if you are going to leave your truck at stock height or lower it. I think 18" would go better if you were planning on putting beefy tires and/or lifting the truck some. Make sure to post pictures when you get it done!
