I'm ordering new wheels and tires today for my 2014 White Reg Cab, see sig for photo, 2" rear drop and eventually a 2" front drop.

Option 1:
MB Vortex 20x9 wrapped in GT Radial Champiro's - under $1300 usd shipped with lugs.

Excuse the 'Yota, as far as i can search these are not on any Rams.

Options 2/3
22x9 Replica RT wheels in Black or Silver. Wrapped in GT Radial Champiro 305/45/22 - About $200 more than the MB Vortex package.

And i'm sure all of you know what these RT wheels look like on our trucks so I won't post a picture :naughty:

I'm at a deadlock, don't know what i want more! I want a good performing summer setup that will be used at the track 2-4 times a season.

I actually like the Vortex wheels on the Yota. But i think they would look better in 22s. Looks like thats what size is on there in the pic. But you can't go wrong on the black R/T wheels either! Sorry im no help haha

Oh wow, i thought they were a bit bigger. Looks good though. Don't worry, its only a lot of money if you dont like them lol

Personally i think they would look a lot better with a flat center cap

R/Ts are a safe way to go, you know those look good. The other wheels might look good, or might look like **** wheels... Kinda risky imho. No offense to any pimps on here, lol!

Black R/T's would be great, take a look at toyo stII rubber, it would give it kinda a custom tire look.

May as well buy WHAT EVERYONE is buying.

Why be different?

To be fair I have R/T's too, but had them BEFORE they went nuts and came cast.

That's kind of my grip, I really do like the look of srt and rt wheels but everyone's got them, it's nice to stray away from the hurd sometimes...

I was/am considering those in a 305/50/20 @ $156 a tire they were well priced.

Millions of dodge trucks have the same exact factory wheels. There may be 100 guys running the same wheels on the forum, but we are concentrated here. I think i may have seen 2 other dodge trucks with the srt wheels on them while out driving anywhere. There is a reason most of us like the same wheels...they look good!

Nick go with what you like, you and I are what 6-8 hours apart roughly, how many reg cabs do you see running around period. I think whatever you do is going to look good because up here in the great white north no one does lower and 22" wheels period lol.

I'm leaning towards the MB wheels. I looked at them awhile back.
