Default Looking to buy new 16" rims, any suggestions?

I have an 06 Dakota trx4 AWD w/ stock 5 spoke 16" Rims. I want to stay in the 16's because my BFGoodrich all-tetrains only have 10k on them. Any suggestions on what or where to buy? Thanx

Check out Discount Tire and Tire Rack. Another good place is Criagslist or some of your local tire shops.

Good Luck

Your stock offset is 25mm, I would keep it close to that. Keithhud's advice is right on.

I might have found some on jkmotorsports.com. the Ultra 243/244 Mako 8 spoke grey/black. 16x8 offset 10, will I just have to use a spacer or am I way off? 5x139.7 for lugs. They look pretty sweet. Check them out. I've never purchased aftermarket wheels before. They are Friggin cheap too. Tell me what ya think.

Will do. The Rims are special order so it could be a month or so, but I will post when I put them on. I'm pumped!
