How do you guys decide on wheels?
I've been shopping around...thought I found the set I for sure wanted. Shopped around some more, found another set I decided I for sure wanted instead. Now since then I've found at least 2-3 other wheels I really like, and I can't even pick one as a favorite...

Well to tell you the truth all you have to do is get a 2 wheel drive that you might lower a bit and the wheel selection gets real small. Right now I am deciding between 2 that are the right width and offset and am stuck so when you figure it out share

I went through this as well.
Funny thing is, when I finally decided, I couldn't get the wheel I wanted without a long wait and they might not make it anymore.
Tire shop suggested something similar and when I looked them up, I saw the wheels I actually purchased.
Just keep looking, something will grab you.

I went back and forth with 3-4 different sets of wheels and whittled them down to what I have, think I spent about 6 months deciding before pulling the trigger.
www.tirerack.com has a simulator that lets you input your truck and all the wheels they have available so you can see what they might look like on your truck before buying.

I spent a bit of time looking through the picture threads here and on the custom offset website. I kinda knew what size I wanted and then that helped narrow it down since some weren’t available in the wheel size I knew I was looking for since I didn’t want a crazy negative offset.

I went on several sites. Settled on Discount Tire. Knew the size and color I wanted and set those perimeters, so I searched. Every one of them. Site has a button that shows the wheels on your truck. Not hard, just time-consuming.

Can't see both sides of the truck at the same time, so just buy 2 of the one style for the driver's side, and 2 of the other for the passenger side.

Go to CustomOffsets.com
They have a huge gallery of trucks. You can filter out by damn-near anything; wheel size, tire size, wheel brand, offset, lift size.
Thats how I figured out what wheels I wanted and how big of tires I could/wanted to run.

Without digging up all the pictures...
So far I've looked at Method Double Standard (machined), Raceline Clutch (probably bronze but not sure), Mamba M14 (machined), Vision Manx 2 Overland (gray), Black Rhino Mint (gray-though to be honest these are a little more than I wanna spend). All 17's. There's probably others too I looked at but dismissed because they cost too much.
My biggest thing is I do not want black wheels, which cuts my selection by probably 75%, but there are still quite a few I like.
I have used CustomOffsets quite a bit, but a few of the wheels I picked out that I like seemingly nobody is running. The Vision Manx 2 Overland for example, I like it because it's a simple good looking wheel but I can pretty much only find pictures of it on Jeeps and a couple Tacomas.
