Keep the original or go with rallies. Just my taste.

If it ain't broke, there is still probably room for improvement.

I like spoke wheels over solid for our trucks.

Re: Poll: do you like the look of these tires and wheels?

Tires are way too big in my opinion and would ruin the clean look of that truck. I wouldn't do more than 29" or 30" tall in a street/highway tread.

Re: Poll: do you like the look of these tires and wheels?

I have never liked the look of the latter set of wheels. In this instance, I think stock rims look far better.

As long as you're not running 20"s lol.

But, I really love Outlaw II's, I think you should go for it.

Re: Poll: do you like the look of these tires and wheels?

You are never going to please everybody, you are the one paying for them & most of the people on this forum or any other forum will never see your truck in real life so pick the ones you like! :-)

Nice truck too btw!!

I also vote keep the steelies and dog dish caps. Looks too clean to mess with. If anything get some big wide steelies om the back!
