Help me decide
You've got a "thing" for stars, don't you?
IMHO, stars don't fit the karma of this truck.........skuze me........OUR trucks.
You need something more substantial, something more "billet" and less "riceboy"; something that says "big crank" and not "limp woosie with dice on mirror and 5-inch exhaust tip only".

You call up a picture of your truck (including color!!), then displays overlays of various wheels so you can get a good look.

I dont know if I necesarily have a thing for stars, Im just looking at some different things. The lightning and Harley wheels happen to be stars.. those super star things kinda reminded me of the harley wheel.Harley wheels:

Go for the Harley Wheels. Looks good with your truck. make it unique - it's your own style.

As a past GV'r I guess I'll voice my opinion too. I don't like any of the 'spoke' style wheels. Personally I think the old wheels you have are the best 'stock' style produced for trucks, but they could have done something better for a center cap. I had the same wheels on my Expedition for 3 years and loved them. This time I went for the aftermarket wheel... but wanted something a little beefier... What do you think?

hmmmmm. dunno, one50. those harley wheels aren't too bad as star-types go. but i'm the sort who believes simpler is better. and you can be aggresive an still be simple. but it's not my truck either, of course. ultimately our trucks are an expression of each of us, obviously. forme, i prefer theunderstated bad-*** elegance of all black everything on my SCrew. boards. glass. bumpers. tonneau. you seem to be the opposite. that's cool. i gues it all comes down to what we're trying to say, without saying it.
btw, what did you think of the tire site?

one50npump, go for the stars... can't stand the sawblades. Next ugliest is the standard Lariat wheel. Took me a long time to find my solution. (Prime #805s) If I had it to do again I would also consider the Lightning. Dare to be different! Shouldn't each of our Screws be unique? Swen
I would have to say the old ones, for financial reasons... If you go with the new ones you'll have to fill the bed with subwoofers so the whole neighborhood can 'feel' the beat of your hip-hop tunes, and that can get pretty expensive! Besides, the black light shining underneath the truck as you drive down the street will distract people from the effect of the fart-noise exhaust system you've installed.
