Default aftermarket rims

i am wanting to save up for some new rims but im not sure if it will look good with 17 inch rims because i dont have a whole lot of money so im just going to stay with stock size rim so i dont have to buy new tires but i was wondering if you could post some pictures of your trucks with aftermarket 17" rims. thanks or if someone has photoshop and could help me make a picture with my truck and different rims in it

This is a old picture.
MB Blitz 17x8 Alloys w/ Falken S/TZ-01 285-60-17. After 3 years of great use they are about to come off in the next week or two.

Stay with the 17s anyway, even if you have $ for 20s. The only thing 20s have over 17s is looks. 17s are lighter, allow for more tire sidewall and tires are MUCH less.

Crager Soft 8s are a big favorite among the Jeep crowd. Nice looking, no frills steelies that are around $75 each in black and not much over $100 in chrome.

For aluminum wheels I've always been partial to Mickey Thompson and Dick Cepek wheels. Again, no frills, not very expensive (at least compared to most aluminum wheels) and are among the best in strength to weight ration in the industry...

I got mine from Discount Tire. They discontinued the Blitz quite some time ago. I am about to take them off as i brought some 18x9 (rear) and 17x9 (front) Matte XD Addicts.
Will be running them with 305/45/18 Nitto NT555r DR's in the rear and 275/55/17 Toyo Proxes on the front.

Here is a chop of what it may look like.
