Man theres so many good wheels out there. Its such a big decision, if you get it wrong it sucks. Wheels are what I usually do last to my trucks just to give myself a year to figure it out. Style is always my first consideration, then weight, our stock wheels weigh 31.5lbs which is pretty heavy for 17's. In most cases you can jump up to a 18 and still be under weight with aftermarket wheels. The other big factor is offset. Most wheels are offered in several different offsets for our trucks bolt pattern, 6x135. Places like Tire Rack dont always list all the offsets offered so always call one of our fine vendors here and see whats out there. I think the best look is a little more width. 0 to +18 IMO, stock is +34.
Heres a few that are on my short list, the fuels are a little more expensive but Im leaning toward them the most. What do you guys think ?
Fuel Octane, in a +1
Ultra Gauntlet

Damn Ducati, I actually like both of those. But yeah I agree, rims can make or break a truck. In my opinion I have always liked more rim and less tire. With as big as our tires are though, that alows for a little bigger rim and still plenty of tire.
Man this is tough. My Chaos 6 rims I had on my Taco just fit perfectly. I went to Tire Rack and threw them on the Raptor and they didn't look to bad at all with my white truck. I love black rims on a white truck as long as there is something to break it up with, IE: the mud graphics.

Tough choice. They are both great tires. Obviously the trail is going to be a little more friendly all around and still give you great off road. The one thing that would turn me off about the mud is that after a few thousand miles they are going to wear uneven, more then most, and get a serious paddle effect going down the road. Lots of vibration and noise, which is cool at first but gets old if its your daily driver.
One other cool thing about the trial m/t is they have two different styles of lettering on each side. A stylized lettering which you have in the pic above and a traditional lettering.

My neighbor got the muds on his lifted truck, and hated them. They wore out very quick and were too loud. He scrapped them needless to say and got something better.

The Fuels is the way I been wanting to go but still not 100% sure on the exact size I should get. Ducati what do you think?
Im going with 18's. Ive always wanted 20's but for some reason I just dont like the look on the Raptor, I like the chunky tire look here. Purely a preference thing, a lot of guys run 20's and love them. The only real negative is the increased weight and price of the wheel and tire.
You could always just stick with a 17, the wheel choices become a bit more limited though.
Heres a good link to check out all the wheels and sizes available. Once you pick a style you like you can narrow it down by wheel size and bolt pattern (6x135) and see all the available offsets they come in. - MHT Fuel Off Road Wheels -RH3
Looks like most fuel wheel are offered in -12, +1, +14 and +20 offsets. they also offer deep versions of their wheels that go down to -44.

See this is the first time I've EVER purchased new wheels for any vehicle so I really have no idea on what to order. If I go to 18's instead of 17's and I want to do some jumping is that going to be a problem?? I also have no idea for offsets..Sorry for my ignorance in knowledge of this.
