There are a hundred or more different options. You shouldn't rely on a forum to tell you what to get.

It's your truck, not ours. Get what you like. Read the reviews, read the forums. There is a ton of info out there.

That is like me asking what is your favorite shaving cream.

First things first what kind of driving do you? Pavement? Gravel roads? Farming?

Pavement, and offroad for hunting, Iwas just looking for opinions on chrome or black rims? I want the tires to stick out of the wheel well slightly.

I'll give you an honest opinion. Chrome 16x10's with an aggressive 305/70/16 tire.

I would stick with the rims you have and just get a new set of tires. The truck looks great and new tires with your rims will improve the ride and comfort of driving without spending a lot of money.

Nice looking truck. A new set of tires and you'd be great. Maybe some rain vents, so you can open your windows on a rainy day..... lol

Your truck could go either way but some nice styled chrome wheels in a 16x10 and a -24 offset with at least a 305 would look perfect
