I don't usually ask what people think about what I should do to my truck but I'm going out on a limb here and ready for the abuse....

Thoughts on this wheel?

Stock ones look better. Not saying those look bad.

I guess I should also say I want to go with less offset so they will come out some and go down to an 18" wheel so I can get more sidewall.
Hence why the stock ones will be coming off.

And I don't want to get the same wheel as so many other people. So that's why the design is 'different'.

Makes sense. Yeah, It gets tiring seeing the same few aftermarket wheels. I can't say I've seen those before. I like the 6 spoke design

I'm not into much chrome, but those would look nice on a chrome package.
KUDO's for thinking out of the box.

Design is totally personal, but since you asked....

I always like a 6-spoke wheel. I moved down to an 18" also for more sidewall, but stayed away from chrome because of how hard they are too keep clean after going hunting and off road.

The design kind of reminds me of a custom chopper motorcycle wheel with the jagged edges. Definitely not something I see all the time

Chrome looks better on certain colors than others.

I do like the wheel design.

Please forgive me but it reminds me of something Jesse James would design for a rear motorcycle wheel.

i feel like it's good there are only 6 spokes because any more and the cut out design might look phallic

Thanks for the input so far everybody!

I think part of what I like is that the cut outs don't look like a normal truck wheel but that it isn't really smooth as to look like something you'd see on a car.

I think this is my favorite comment though!!!
