Sorry, I should have asked if anyone had seen 17 inch or larger smoothies. That is what I am looking for.

Lol, I'm 22 and I know what your talking about!

I've never seen them on a Dakota, and I would assume they don't make them in our odd lug pattern. There are few vehicles out there with our lug pattern and none of them that I know of are old enough for those wheels. You may have to think about having a machine shop custom change your lug pattern to fit some.

I can do a front rotor and rear axle change to a 1989 Dakota to get the 5 bolt lug pattern. It is still limited, being a 4 1/2 inch pattern, but there are more wheels to choose from. Still, I am looking for 17 or 18 inch smoothies and no luck yet.
