Default Trying to pick wheels

So I got this 2022 and the deal was to good to pass up and I hate the blacked out look. I will put fox shocks with level and maybe 1" block in back. Don't care about being perfect level.

So trying to break up all this blackness. Badges will get changed later also.

So here are the wheels I think I might get and get rid of them drab black ones.

First runner up and I see them alot on trucks.



.
Second one I kinda like are these.
.


.
I will stay with 20" wheels and probably go with the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W 275/60/20 stock or like I had on the 2015 275/65/20 a little bigger and did not affect gas mileage at all.


Thanks

I try to pick a wheel that's easy to clean. Getting my hands in tiny grooves is a pain.

Good Point. If I stay with the drug dealer look I would never have to clean them. Can't tell they are even there.

LOL

Drug dealer look? I think the days of spray painting the car flat black to hide from the popo went away about 30 years ago. They started offering blackout trim packages on minivans about 15 years ago.

out of the two options, I’d pick the magnetic grey colored ones

I'm gonna vote for the second pictured wheel for one reason. The first picture the wheels have that little hump on the spokes which means 2 wheels will be facing the the other way on the truck. Lol. I'd rather a design that is symmetric with no directional design elements. If that makes sense.

All the wheels are manufactured the same, so the wheels on the drivers side will have the "humps" or the direction appearing the face the opposite direction/rotation. Think these:

Two of the wheels area designed to "face" one direction for one side of the car, and the other two for the other side.

I had a set of those gunmetal 20's and never noticed the directional aspect of them.

I was disappointed with the factory wheels on a Platinum so replaced with American Racing. One of the few 6 spoke that I think suit the truck and quite easy to clean.
