Talking Getting New Rims- Would like your opinion.

1.
2.
3.

I'm getting new wheels this weekend (thanks mom). All these wheels are American Eagle, the first one I've seen on Mumbly's friend's truck and I really like them. But while looking at AE's site I found 2 others I like. So I want to take a poll to see what you guys like best to help me make my decision. Everyone knows what my truck looks like (if not click on the link).

Cool

I prefer #3.

I think the more "open" pattern would look really good with disk brakes. If you have 4-wheel disks, go with #3. If you have drums on the rear, then I vote for #1.

Enjoy - they all look good.

16X8 is the size I'm going with. A couple of hours after I made this post I called the shop and they don't have any of the wheels in stock so they gone ahead and order the first wheel. The third wheel costs more. I am getting polished, but have only seen the chrome (ain't no way i can keep those cleaned like they need to be). Hope I like them. Will have pics ASAP.

Okay, I got them!

I wasn't planning on getting Cooper's, but they are what's on there. P255/70SR16.

Who ever was wanting to see pics of a F150 w/ American Racing Nitro's almost got to see one. Mom saw them and tried to talk me into getting the Nitro's instead of the AE's. I think the AE's look nice.

Wheels and tires look great honey, you definitely made a good choice. It really makes the truck look good.
