Hello all,
I looking to put either 18" or 20" black, black/chrome or black machined wheels on my 1500 and I'm looking for ideas. If you have these type(s) of wheels, please post a pic.

Thanks
Ryan

I have black and chrome and like it. Black and machined looks good too. Just not as flashy!!

Im not a fan of two tone rims and I don't like rivets all over the place either. Black has almost run its course in popularity. But that's just my opinion. I come from more of a street scene than off road.

So for my money, if I went black, Dodge 1500 Style Replica Wheels Matte Black 22x9 SET

I'm old-school, so I like polished and/or chrome wheels. But black wheels seem to be the new norm. I've been thinking of Moto Metal 970's for my truck.

I to think black has been played out. This fad is going on at least 9 years so I think its time for something new as a fad.

Leveled or lifted. My truck is granite crystal.

I was also going to go all black but talked myself out of it. Like others say, 100% black is overdone so I'm trying to mix it up just a little bit.

These threads are entertaining....you always get the ones who say "black wheels are soooo played out man" lol

Hmmm....id say black, alloy, chrome etc..are the common color of wheel for vehicles no?

Maybe I'll get some multi-color or neon green wheels next time around and see if those too become " played out"

:happy175:

Sorry op...carry on!

Oh btw....I think you should get some black wheels.

Black wheels may be played out, but attend SEMA, chrome and black is about all there is....unless you see the import isle.

Thanks for all of the replies and pics everyone! The wheels I'm looking at are 18x9 Ultra Splines that have an offset of 18mm. I plan on running 33" tires, which will most likely be around 12.5" wide. Does anyone know if they'll rub with a 2" level kit installed?

Thanks
Ryan

Finding a wheel that I like that has a 0 offset isn't looking so good, so what would be the next best offset if I plan on running 33s with a 2" leveling kit?
