Im looking at a few different wheels, they all happen to be Pro Comp. My first question is which size should I go with... 17' or 20'?

The next question is which wheels should I go with?

Any other choices? I despise this fake rivet/bolt trend in wheels.
If you're married to those 3, the middle one in 20's.

Well I do like the SRT10 wheels, but I don't know how how that would look on a 4x4 lol. I do agree I'm not wild about the fake rivet crap. I have seen wheels without it that I like at races, but i hve no clue what they were.

I say depends on if you want blacked out wheels or want to break it up with the polished sections like in the first 2 choices. I say 1 or 3, choice 2 has something odd I can't put my finger on. I say go 20's either way.

I'll say 17's just to go against the norm and I like option 2 or 3

I like wheel 2. If you're going for looks I vote for 20s. If you want performance I say get 17s.

I like the second ones and I like 17's myself, I like the look for having a lot of tire and not a lot of rim. If you ever go over rocks it helps too cause you can let more air out and not get your rim smashed up. But is does depend on your tire, if you are going to be over a 33 I would get the 20's for sure. Too much sidewall isn't good either, looking for that perfect balance. I didn't see it you mentioned tire size.

I will say my tire guy recommends 20's, they drive better. But what a lot of guys do is go with the 17's and get a bigger tire because they don't want to lift 6 inches and wrap the truck with 35's. It is a compromise, gives you the lifted tire look without the lift, just a level and your set. Call it a poor mans or an old mans lift, whatever floats your boat. I wouldn't mind lifting my truck, but around here it pays to keep it in the garage, and if I lift it I can't get it in there. Check these babies out, they are machined not rivoted. they look amazing in person. I'll post your choice underneath. If your truck is blacked out I would go with your third choice, but if you have some chrome like I do consider those machined rims, they are cool.

Im not sure on tire size yet, prob will be running close to stock size. I only have a 2" level and 3.55 gears so I dont want to go much taller maybe a little wider with 285s.

It is a 4x4? I think if you have a 4x4 and even remotely use it as such there is a benefit to having the 17's in fit and function. If you have a 2 wheel drive and you like that freak in the street look go with the 20's. I actually like both looks and I like the street Rams too, but I have a 4x4 so I can't wait to get the 20's off mine.

Yes its a 4x4, sport with color matched bumpers and grille. The only chrome is the badges and I will probably plastidip those when I get new wheels. I don't do much offroading just gravel roads when I go camping. So im really going for looks.
