Coolest Wheels

I'm getting ready to buy some wheels for my truck. I has an 05 XLT Supercrew 4x4 in Charcoal Grey. It has a 2.5" Autospacer lift with 305/70R17 Maxxis Mudders. I've been told by the Awesome people on this site that I should be able to run a 17x9 wheel. I like the truck to look tough, but I would like some input as to what wheels I should go with: chrome or black, rugged or stylish or a little of both!?!?!?!?!?!!? HELP!!!

I like these....



But they only come in 20" and 22" sizes. I'm running a 285/65/20 (34.7") tire and a 2.0" AutoSpring leveling kit.

There are just too many to choose from. I suggest looking at pics of members trucks and see what you like. I know that sometimes I will see a wheel and never give it a second look. Then I may see it on a truck later and it looks great. Black or chrome will look sweet on your truck. I'd suggest a 9 inch wide wheel with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing.

On a 17x9 wheel it will be close in the front, you may do better with an 8" wide wheel. Great choice of tires by the way!

black with chrome accents looks great on a grey truck!
