Default What do you think?...wheels

Well I've been slowly dechroming my truck over the last couple of months and after the bumper the final step is replacing the wheels. The only problem is I can't make up my mind so I was wondering what ya'll think.

First off, I'm thinking of going 17" wheels and sticking with 33" tires since the most lift I'm going to put on the truck is going to be 3 inches.

Now the part I'm stuck on is do I want to go with a set of solid black wheels or do I go with black wheels that have a touch of chrome? I've been stick with this decision for over 6 months now and only started thinking about it really because a friend threw in the idea of having a little chrome and since then I haven't been able to make up my mind.

So here's my 4 top choices with the sidebiter being #1 and the other 3 are in no particular order.

Mickey Thompson Sidebiter


Motto Metal 957


XD 797 Spy


Motto Metal 951

I always liked the spy wheels and think they great on 1/2 ton pickups. You def can't go wrong with this set....or really all are nice wheels, but the Spys are my fav

I think since your truck is white that you can't go wrong either way. White trucks with a touch of black are SEXY but still look awesome with a hint of chrome on the wheels.
my pick would be the XD SPY or MOTOs 951

Default MT Side Biters

My wife has a set of 15x8 on her wrangler. There is one complaint, the center caps have Allen head bolts that are black to begin with then they turn to a rust color (Winter use "yes" its a nh winter we use salt soo keep that in mind). Not a big deal if your a off roader but she is picky... Looks good with the MTZ tho black is still black and very easy to clean.. 31x10.5 MT MTZ on it..

To awnser the question tho I would put the moto metal on my truck in a heart beat!

I've been tossed up, myself, between the Sidebiters and the Pro Comp 8069 Xtreme Alloys. I'm leaning toward the Pro Comps, but have a few months to figure it out because I've got more important things (intake manifold, automatic transmission, front end upgrades, exhaust... the list goes on) to do first.

Bumping for maybe some more votes and/or comments...

Well right now the overall winner is the Spy but I'd like to give it a little more time before I make a final choice and then it'll be awhile before I get the new wheels cause thats a pretty penny and I have some other things popping up on the truck that need to be replaced and since wheels are purely cosmetic, they can wait.
