Would be interested in your current wheels if you decide to change.

You off road much? If so, I'd go 18". If not, I like the look of a 20" wheel.

Those are two different shade of bronze. Fuel make a wheel called a Vapor D569 that has a bronze that would more closely match the bronze on your truck. This of course is IMHO. Definitely go with a 20 inch wheel.

A 18x9 will cost 245.00 per wheel
A 20x9 will cost 280.00 per wheel

I vote for the 20" wheel all day long.

That one is easy. After you're all done, bring her outside and say "Look honey how nice my truck looks with new tires and rims. Here's some of your favorite chocolate and wine"

My vote would be for the 18's. They ride better and off-road better. I just never have got into the Hot Wheels look, but thats just my opinion/taste. I like the bronze look. Back in the mid 80's through early 90's bronze was popular and Enkei's were the hip wheel to have. I like the one's shown above because they're kind of Enkei-esque. Everything old is new again, except me.
