i dont know about you, but i personally hate the rivets on wheels. and i would never get em because then u have to scrub each little rivet every week.

the montegi's would be sick without the rivets

btw what size are you going for? because your either A) blingin with big wheels and thin tires, B) wheels and fat tires. that choice alone changes the wheel choice all together

if your going for big wheels theres tons of deals on ebay right now.

i personally wouldnt throw wheels on until spring, unless your going to use your set up now as your winter set

Like i've shown before I've got a 2005 1500 Quad Cab 4.7. I've got 265/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers. And I'm just looking at the idea of some nice wheels. Does anyone have any pictures of trucks that would look similar? And could I get some ideas of some nice 17' wheels on my truck.

i think those are 3 wheel types that covers your basic off road look 17's. i dont think any of them wouldnt look awesome. its all about your choice of color and spokes

a half @$$ paint copy and paste of the moto metal wheels on your truck. it definitely helps to back up when you look at it

IMO I think it's going to look weird with 17's and those tires. The truck is too big to have small wheels and average size tires.

Check this out, pretty reasonable prices and sometimes you can get it with free shipping and leave you with a few cents in your pocket.
