Gahhhh What Wheels?

So I am torn between 3 different KMC wheels. What are ya'lls suggestions?
KMC-Rockstar 18"
KMC-Monster 18"
KMC-Spy 18"

There going on this truck


I am getting the silver painted red next weekend.

Right now I am leaning towards the spy's. Again though, I do like all 3.

Rockstars and monsters look good but there are alot of them around. Also unless you plan on loosing all the chrome on your truck the spys will go better!

If you wanna bump up to 35's the spy's run in slim widths so you can fit them with a 2.5" leveling kit. The spy's would look really nice or the monsters, the rockstars imo only look good with 35" + tires that are really aggressive.

Spys would look best with your paint. I would only get rockstars & Monsters in 20"+ because I think 18" looks too small.

well it looks like im going with the 18" spys. I just placed the deposit with tire barn by me. There going to be wrapped in toyo open country AT 285/65/18. You think those rims will look good on those tires? My wife bought me the tuff country 2.5 leveling kit for sweetest day that I have yet to put on. I planned on doing it when I got new shoes.
