Help me decide on wheels.
 
I currently have 18x9 Ultra Lightning wheels with 33" Nitto's. I was thinking about going to a 20x10 with 33" tires and down the road when I get my lift going to a 35" tire. Should I stay with a 18" or 20" wheel?
These are the wheels I am looking at:

Helo Maxx 6

or

Eagle Alloy 064
https://www.f150online.com/forums/me...-alloy-064.jpg
or should I leave it alone?

This is what I have

The eagle alloys are my favorite, but idk if i'd like them enough to change them from what you already have - those look sweet!

hmm i like the eagles as well

do you have 18s right now?

1clean42 06-18-2009 06:51 PM

his OP says 18x9's...I wouldn't go any bigger.

I like all three. Including your current wheels. 18's or 20's is strictly a personal preference. If you change wheels, I'd definately go with a 10 inch wide version.

Make sure they have the 5x135 bolt pattern. Seems like a lot of companies are phasing out our size lug pattern. Just fyi.

I like the ones you have on the truck the best....Eagle's a close second.

Thanks Wandell, I wish that I would have got a 10" wheel instead of 9". Thats why I was looking at the Eagle alloy. They offer a 20x10 and a 18x10 wheel.

I personally have always been a fan of less wheel more rubber on lifted trucks. 20's on lowered trucks is OK, but I think the smaller the wheel the bigger the tire gives it more of a rugged off road look. Just my .02 though. Either will look good. :thumbsup:

This is the look I was going for, the truck belongs to member "Antscrew" it has a 4" Rancho lift and 35's. I think the Eagle Alloys might look better though.


With 20x10

Man, you have a wicked looking truck!! I agree with jk007, I like more tire, less wheel on a 4x4. I like the wheels you already have on your truck. What about the DC1's? I think they would look wicked on your truck, but then again maybe I'm biased........

Agreed.

I like what you have now your truck looks great. If you do change I would go with the Eagles. Sometimes it is hardest to just leave stuff alone and be happy with what you have. I blame this site for that. :lol:

GaNole07 06-19-2009 10:20 PM

Yeah your current wheels are really nice, but i'd go with the eagles if you had to change..see way too many truck with the Helo Maxx's thats why I stayed away from them

yeah, seems like i do see alot of trucks with the maxx's...they're way too busy for my taste; I'd rather have understated-but-still-custom-looking rims lol
