I like the 3rd ones on the bottom. Kind of resembles the Cragar SS with a sleeker design. They would look good on any Ram. Let me know if you're looking to get rid of your OEM 20's. I'm in the market!

Out of those I would also go with the third but everyone has 20's these days, go with at least 22's they arent that much more except for the fact you have to buy new tires if you already have 20s and planned on using those.

i wouldnt go to 22's like mentioned earlier.

stick with the 20s and keep at least a 55 height wall on them....like the stock 20" setup.

I love my stock chrome 20's because they look very nice when driving and stopped but arent TOO big whereas if i rub a curb or go over a curb...i wont damage them. perfect balance.

if you go to 22's or 24s and get low profile tires....your gonna screw up your rims within a month or two....its inevitable.

stick with the 20's. I like the 2nd picture (but not the center cap) so go with the 3rd!!!!

just a thought, if you are ever going to put some good 4x4 tires on there, since you have the 4x4, it will cost a grip of cash. Expensive enough for my 17's.. As for the rim choice, the third one for me too.

TRUCK, are you still looking for stock 20's ? I am getting new wheels in the spring but If you want them I'll do it sooner. they're in great shape, and I live in Michigan about 8 miles from the Ohio border depending where you are in Ohio, and if you want them we could each drive half way. Let me know, Thanks

option 3...

also 22's are not as brittle as some are making out... I got 22 with BFG KDW (2) tires in 295/45/22... I have tapped more than a couple curbs and have not damaged my rims... got some dings in the tires though

I have the first ones (polished aliminum/not chromed) in 17x8 with Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor 275/70R17's.

They look fairly nice. $189CAD each was a steal.

I have seen too many aftermarket rims flake the chrome - the polished variants are 90% as shiny (do need polishing once in a while).
