Lifting the 210 FX4...what rims should I go with?

Here is a pic of my old truck...I liked the chrome rims on it and tried to find similar rims but American Racing discontinued them.



Here is a picture of the new truck. I'm going with the fabtech performance 6" kit with the dirt-logic coils and dirt-logic rear shocks.

Link for the wheels. I will be going with toyo open country mud terrains 35x12.50R18

I think I like the first two wheels the best, then the fifth... What do you guys think?

I think number one would look sweet with the white.

somethin black would look good given you got the tails. but then again a chrome would go well with the grille.

2 and 5 get my vote also

I like 1 or 4. I think having both the black and chrome would match the grille and the dark harley heads and tails, although i thought all the fx4's had the black bar grille. Did you order your harley heads and tails from wynne?

I love the old truck! That thing is awesome! Not really that crazy about crew cabs, but to each their own. I would definitely go with #2, the Incubus Brawns, and some Toyo Open Country M/T's!

I have #1 on my truck, and I love them.

Ordered mine from here http://www.rimzoneonline.com/xd798Machblk_18x9.htm a little cheaper since shipping is free, and I received mine in 2 days.

Ruffn-it, I did buy them from wynne. I have the hook up with the parts guy so I got a great deal on them. The FX4's only come with the black bar grill with the PTM outside trim. I don't like them so I ordered a platinum one from ebay for $200 bucks new.

Everyone else thanks for the advise! I'm going to run the 1st link for the addict rims.

BlueFlame...Thanks for the link! Looks I will order from there!

I just found out I am deploying to Italy in January. This means the new truck will be paid off in about 7 months! Seeing I will have some extra cash around I'm thinking about adding some boost! What kit to use?

I won't be bringing the truck. I will be there for 6-7 months. My squadron has a MH-60s over in Naples so the maintainers, pilots and aircrew rotate every 6-7 months and the "bird" just stays there. I wish I could bring the truck, but it will not fit in some of the city streets ha-ha. When I was there last year there was guy who had his lifted ram 2500 diesel there. He was saying he had to make sure he took a cab around Naples to make sure his truck could fit.
