Inexpensive But Nice Black Wheels?
#21
Alright thanks, but i heard about the 15" wheels being problems on the 2000+ Rams due to the dual brake calipers or something? But I'll keep a look out on some 16" wheels too. 8 inch wide wheels won't cause cupping when i put 12.5" wide tires on will they?
Yeah I'll look around. I just don't like that they are like 20+ more dollars compared to 15" wheels.

If I were you I'd go with 15" steels. I run pro comp series 52 flat black. The wheels are cheap, the tires are cheap and you get the meaty look of a small rim and a big fat tire. Cost me under $1000 shipped for the whole package. Not to mention you can run them all year round without worry of salt corrosion / leaky tires. Here's how mine looks if it helps you:
How much they stick out:
Keep in mind those are 35x12.5 so your tires will be about an inch narrower.

That's about exactly how i want mine to look. I want them alittle less out of the fender but not much. I still want it to stick out 1-2" because it's illegal for the tires to stick out too far here. I don't think I'll go with 35s cause i don't want to regear it so that's why I'm going with 33s. Where did you get your wheels at?

I got them at Summit. At the time I price matched my tires from 4wheelparts and got "Summit Bucks" which payed for one of my wheels. It seems Summit has their own brand now for 15x8 D-slots, and at $45 each that's dirt cheap:

(they also have "Bart" wheels for the same price)
So does Jegs and Rough Country:

Just a heads up, 4wheelparts is doing their "buy 3 get one free" deal on Pro Comp tires. 33" and 35" A/T's and M/T's. I have the MT's and absolutely love them. Free ship too.

At ~$850 shipped for a brand new set of 33" wheels and tires that is a steal.
