Default XD Rockstars BLK...22's or 24's?

Hey guys...sorry I keep posting so much...just trying to figure out everything I want so I can start checking off the list and who better to ask then experianced dodge owners. I own a blackk 07 1500 hemi laramie. I want to black it out with just a tiny bit of chrome. Im thinking of buying the XD black Rockstars with the chrome star in the middle. Love the rim. Ive been told 24's just look stupid...but others tell me otherwise. Since you guys know dodges and drive dodges...what would look better? Im not lifting the truck or anything because I heard they just drive like **** lifted and I travel too much. I want to give it a street/agressive look. Now...would it look better with 24's and a wikkid tire or with 22's and a semi agressive tire? Any input will be appreciated. Thanks guys.

It will look stupid either way. Put a nice set of 17's on there and level the front end.

If you put 24"s people will point and laugh at you...


Go with 20X8.5 XDs and a 305/50/20 tire

i disagree! you want a aggresive stance go with a 2/4 drop and the 22's... all blacked out and slightly lowered on 22" Rockstars would look tough! and yea, 24's are dumb!

The XD Rockstar's don't come in 17's the smallest they go is 18". I'd say 20" is the biggest you should go, if you go 22" or 24" and you're not lifting at all, it will ride like crap because you will have next to no tire.. And these trucks don't drive like crap lifted if you do it the right way
