I want new wheels!!!

Alright I would like to purchase new wheels that are 17x9's. My problem is that everything I find just appears ugly to me. Any suggestions as to where I should look and/or any pics?

4 x 2 or 4 x 4?

What kind of look are you going for? sporty, offroad, etc.

For a 4 x 2, I'd probably go with 20's or 22's.

For a 4 x 4, I'd do the 17' like you said but do a bead lock (simulator).

try and decide what size you want first. then, start with good ol' google with the size and bolt pattern. there are plenty of wheels out there for your truck, its just a matter of finding them. once you start lookin, youll notice what brands you like and which ones you dont, then you can go into more detail with the brands and their individual wheels. you could also go pick up a truck magazine and look through the PAGES of different wheels they have pictured just to get an idea. just my .02

gatorman... what does your truck look like? If it looks good I bet I've seen it LaGrange isn't a real big place. I work at the college so you may have seen my truck around. Anyway, I would like to see your truck... just drop me a line.

Depends on style of wheel you want, I have 17 x 8 Platinum Retros on my truck. Check it out and see what you think.

Thumbs up

Check the centerline website. They have a variety and some are very reasonable.
