I've always like falken even with my other truck, but what I've notice is that my gas millage has gone down due to having heavy tires but I'd rather have a nicer looking ride, but I like the look of them haven't had any issues

Rims and tires make the biggest difference on any truck or car

A good offset is slightly lower than stock, which is 25mm. Too low and you run into the issue of having to do some nasty cutting / trimming. 18mm is a common offset on aftermarket wheels. There is a better selection of tires in a 17" wheel, usually cheaper too.

Choose wisely...

Looks good man looks similar to mine. I'm getting the black front headlights soon but I'm going with the all black instead of the grey trim. For some reason there are not many that are solid black.
