Default Rims

Okay guys, going to be buying rims for the truck very soon. So here are the options


1. Mickey Thompson SideBiter $700



2. Stock FX4 rims powder coated a matte black $300 (not my rims but an example of his work)






So which one?

Wider wheels may make the steering feel heavier.

Nine inch wide wheels aren't really considered wide to me.. 16x9 classics on an 8 inch wide tire put my tires flush with my wheel well.. But I'd go with the Sidebiters.. Don't think I've ever seen them on our trucks..

I love having wider rims gives a more stable feel on corners
