Default Help me decide on wheels!

I'm trying to decide what to put on my 09 screw. It has the factory 20"s now, going to replace with 17"s just can decide which ones would look best. I haven't decided on a tire yet, size will be 285/70/17 and probably something like cooper at3, general grabber at2...or something along these lines.

I read through just about all the tire and wheel fitment guide thread, don't remember seeing any of these two wheels posted, they are both on the cheaper/not as flashy end of the spectrum.

Pic of my truck, and two wheel options that are in my budget. Level 8 tracker black, and MB Wheels razor black with machined face. Level 8 tracker comese in a polished wheel too, but it is a little more $$ and I don't want anything super flashy. I think I'm leaning towards the MB Razor, not sure how black wheels would look on my truck. Thanks for the opinions!

I agree it would be a step down.

haha, that was kinda what I was thinking as well, though appearance isn't my main concern (price is), just kind of want the best of the worst I guess?! I did just find these on craigslist though....they aren't too shabby looking and best deal I have found so far

Just wait and save up. Looks are important , it's a nice truck. It deserves it. Seriously, don't just settle.

I have to agree with these guys. Please please don't put either of those on your truck. Most 17" wheels can be had fairly cheap. Save your money for something you will actually like

All that matters is what you think looks good. Everyone has different tastes and preferences. It's kinda like asking what color paint is the best. Personally I hate the look of 20's and 33-35" tires. I love the way 17's look and especially ones that aren't flashy and don't look like they belong on a lowered escalade. I have those level 8's and think they look great.

Im with the guy above me, and i would run the black eight shooters. When you hit holes in the road that extra inch of sidewall could save yourself i cracked or bent rim. Imo a rim only needs to be big enough diameter to clear the rotors and calipers.
As for tires a set of 285/70 r17 swamper irok nds are 170 per tire at 4wheel parts pretty hard deal to beat for 33s , i bought two sets for my b4000 in spring when they were 150 per tire sold one set at work for 850 so i basicly got a set for 350.
