The original are much more attractive in my opinion, but then I'm an old guy....Like I used to tell my teenage daughter when she'd ask my opinion on her outfits...."If you like it, then that's all that matters".

She's 21, living in Norman Oklahoma and attending OU. It's funny how quickly you realize that you actually miss being constantly annoyed by your children

I like the rims, however, I do not like all that space between the tire and fender. I know its an illusion because therim size, however it just looks to not fill out the well. I like the stock 16's. My 'Rango came with those ugly flat looking, huge cap rims (you know, those ones shaped like a melted plate). I have a set of 15's, and some 16's(on the car now). I like the stock.

I would have concentrated more on getting that rotting quarter panel fixed before slamming some "rimz" on there.

The wheels look okay I guess, I'm not really into skinny tires on a truck, myself.

Well I bought the rims with the tires for $300 used...and I'm not planning on keeping it looking this way, I'm trying to figure out what the best way to fill up that gap will be. It's either going to be lowering it or finding maybe a set of 31 or 33" tires. What do you guys think? I think more sidewall would look 100x better!!

And I just got this Durango, first plan was to make any issues with it go away. The first issue was it had horrible tires on it that made the whole vehicle shake (broken belt). I told my wife we needed new tires, and instead of buying new tires for the stock 15" rims that I didn't like, I found a good deal on these. They're not my 100% favorite rims, but they beat the look of stockers "to me" and the price was right. I found a set of Pirelli Scorpion ATR's in 32" size with 85% tread left mounted and balanced for $200 with a 30 day warranty. I'm thinking of jumping on those. Then I can sell my stockers, and these tires and hopefully cut close to even.

Next spring the whole truck is being stripped, all the rust is being fixed, and it will all be repainted. Here's the last vehicle of mine I painted...
