You asked for opinions. Mine is they're terrible. I don't like anything over a 20

They're a bit big for my liking, but some blue brake calipers would enhance the look! They don't look bad though!

I'm not huge on big wheels, but these are 24's and they look pretty good

If you like the setup and looks---> That is all that matters! Don't worry what others think. I personally like a some what lower profile wider A/T... That does well in Snow/Ice + can handle some medium towing duties...

I really like my 20" just need an inch or two wider.

With that said--->your truck looks dam good!

Only problem is that you've greatly reduced the ride quality and ultimately to a point, safety.
They're not bad looking wheels, they're nice wheels. I like them, they're just too big. A 22 would have been a better choice.

Balloons at least can take a good pothole hit. And never say never, there's always a hole out there. And I'm sure those low profiles aren't going to offer much against a bend or crack. But as some have said, if you like it, that's what counts.

A lot of old fart heads on this forum I guess. lol

Sorry we all ain't a huge fan of 4x4 rims and expensive ass all terrain tires that will never see dirt.. lol

I've seen some ugly chrome rims. Those at least are simple clean 5 spoke, plus that Blue streak is awesome.

I just don't picture a ram or any truck for that matter looking like that. It's dumb.

I dont get what makes it dumb...Personally, I like an aggressive off road look, but putting 35" tires and never going off roading isn't any less useless than 24's with small sidewalls.


They look great man, very clean wheel. Like I said its not the style I would run, but can definitely appreciate a sharp looking truck! Love that color too

Who said anything about mud tires and being a pavement princess? He posted giant ugly rims and wanted to know what people thought. I wouldn't have even commented, but he wants people's opinions, so I gave mine.

A lot of older/country people around here (It's a truck forum, duh!), so they will not like anything that's not off road with big tires and that's cool. What I don't get is the ones adding the 'looks stupid' or 'that is dumb' to their statement. Society sucks smh.

I like them, was thinking of 24 Ballers or 22 SRTs (or similar) with a little thicker tires.
