Default Help me decide on new wheels, need your vote!

It's time for new wheels and tires on my Sterling Grey 2009 SCREW. Which of these 2 would you choose? They fit my budget.

Out of those two choices, I would pick the second one.

Stock wheels IMO.

Stock wheels don't have the offset I'm looking for!

Was also checking out MB Razors.

I like neither, but depending on the color of your truck, and if you have a decal on your bed, id say the first one only because of the color in them. I DO like the writing on the wheel lips of the second one though.

Ok, well on the first one, I notice it takes me to a page where you've selected 15" wheels. At minimum you need 17" wheels to fit on your truck. Looking up those same wheels in a 17" bump you up about $15 a wheel to $120. If you wanted to go 18", it'd bump you up to $135.

I also noticed the first wheel, with our 6x135 bolt pattern only comes with one offset, +18mm. You do realize you're not gonna be gaining that much offset going with these wheels over stock. 26mm to be exact, about 1 inch.

Now the second wheel choice is available in 17" or 18" (as well as other sizes), for what price I don't know. Those are only available in our 6x135 bolt pattern with a +25 offset. Even less of an offset gain over stock. If you're just wanting the wheels to stick out more maybe a good quality set of spacers would be a better option with the stock wheels.

Also, are you planning on keeping your stock tires and swapping them over to the new wheels? If so, you have to make sure you get the correct size wheel to correlate with the tire. Either way, do some research before you go buying stuff. It would suck to order the wrong stuff.

ETA: I would choose neither, to me they both kinda look gaudy, bet hey if you like um what does it matter what I think!

I think the second ones are nicer. I put +25 on mine with a lift and they stick out plenty. Still enough to sling gravel up the side of my truck. And too much offset will put stress on other parts. And wheel spacers are a terrible idea.
