Suggestions for new wheels on a Platinum

I'm looking for new wheels for my black platinum and was hoping for some suggestions from you guys! As of now, I'm thinking a chrome wheel with a little bit of black accents, any ideas? I know I want them in 20" and I already have LT305/55r20 Nitto Terra Grapplers with a 2" AS levelg kit on. ANY ideas I would greatly appreciate and consider. Thanks in advance!

I want the KD Rockstars for my truck. In black. I'd go black on your truck too.

No black accents, but IMO a classy rim ...



But then having recently purchased a set of new ones from ebay for < $600, I'm prejudiced.

there so many choices out there man, just go online or get a truck magazine and find the 1 you like. Personally I wouldn't want rims alot of trucks have. I would suggest however, either all black with chrome accents, or all chrome with black accents.

I don't know if I have ever seen an actual chrome rim with black accents, but I have seen machined rims with black accents or black rims with chrome bolts/center caps

I didn't think about that. Thats the look I do like though. I've been looking around and I havent seen many with the Dale Earnhardt Jr. Cannon Wheels in 20".



This is one of the only images I found with the wheels actually on a truck. Looks sick other than its on a Dodge.

Also, I dont plan on lifting the truck. Just keeping my leveling kit and maybe add a block and/or airbag in the back and keeping my Terra Grapplers

the fuel hostages come in a machined/black finish.



I haven't come up with a rim that was mainly chrome with black accents as of yet..

You're right about that. The black with machined is more of what I meant. The hostage is really nice too! I'll see if any black trucks have em.

Sweet truck man! What's the setup in the wheels (size and offset) and lift?

FX4life,
Appreciate all the input man! Those wheels look awesome! The dodge setup shows it nicely IMO because it's not lifted and that's what mine will stay. I'm going to check on some pricing locally and see how they differ from the web.
