Default looking to get aftermarket rims-any suggestions?

I have noticed that not too many aftermarket rims look that good on a quad cab. I was wondering if anyone has any pics of there rims or know of any that look good. I have a 2wd 4.7 liter and want to upgrade. Any suggestions?

If you want to see pictures of certain rims for your QC Ram, you might try http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/interactive.dos
This wont give you some brands such as Dub or the more super expensive types, but if you are interested in cheaper rims, it's a start.

It's a interactive page and for some of the model Chrysler/Dodge cars you may have to go with the other make to see a similar car. For example, it only shows the 4dr Stratus, but if you have a 2dr....you would want to check out the 2dr Chrysler Sebring......Again, its not perfect, but its better then hunting around for 2 or 3 sets of rims. I've bought a set of 20's and 3 sets of 17's from there.

When considering new wheels, don't forget weight! There is more to wheels than "bling." Get the lightest you can afford in a design you can live with. Typically, some variety of forged is lightest, but like most things... as weight drops, price increases.

Also, consider where and how you drive when sizing. I'm a member of another forum where it is fashionable to go with really short sidewall tires and then gripe about bending wheels in daily usage. Duh!

All the best.

I've got a set of Boyds on my other truck. I have no complaints w/ them.

They have a huge selection and can pretty much make any size you want, which came in handy for me because I wanted a serious lip.

As a suggestion, I would say go w/ at least a 22" wheel. On a big truck like that the wheels always look smaller than they are.

here are my Boyds, they are 20x10 on my f-150, yeah i know, YUCK!! But it gives you an idea that 20s don't look that big on a smaller truck.
