What Wheels Should I Get?

[ARust]

It's gold. Sorry, picture isn't the best. I'll post better ones tomorrow.

Out of the ones you narrowed it down to, I like the spy's or the rockstars. Throttles look good too, I just like the others a little better.

If I had that truck I think i would keep those rims and maybe just get a bigger tire and a 5100 level. Those two tone truck are a real nice elegant look, but that means there is limited things you can do. Anyhow, real nice truck good luck with whatever you choose.

Is it already leveled, I can't see the rake with that pic?

Your truck looks awesome as is! I was going to go with rockstars but everyone and their mother has em, and I rarely see the spy's so I went with them, and they went with my truck colors. But with the gold, i don't think the spy's would go, the rockstars maybe, but it's hard to find something that would work on your trucks color scheme. I'll go searching for something to see if I can find something for ya!

I agree with Burla on the wheels. I am a little old I guess, but I would keep the stock wheels (which are sweet/best looking Laramie wheels) and just go with a bigger tire. THAT would actually set your truck apart from the masses, as it seems there are more trucks with wheels than without nowadays. Lifted ones anyways. Try it that way first and if you don't like it then get wheels. Of course you would have to maybe go with a slightly smaller tire than if you had wheels with different backspacing. I have a two toned truck as well and he is correct when he said it definitely limits the choices on wheels. That is main reason I have never "wheeled" mine up lol.

@Burla It was attempted to be level... bought a daystar 2.5 leveling kit. It got here and I measured the strut extensions and the polyester blocks were only an 1 1/4. I didn't really think much about it. When I got it put on it only raised the front end up about an inch. -_- Stupid Daystar...

@HLram I don't know how I feel about the stock rims. I mean they do look nice, but I don't know how I'd like it with a lift and bigger tires. And if I do stock rims, I have to worry about backspace and offsets and I know I need at least a wheel spacer... but it might be worth it to be a bit different and look good. Right now my truck already sticks out by itself. In my town (pop of about 1900) I have the only 4th gen Ram. Haha. But... I'll see if I can find a two-toned truck on stock rims with bigger tires. Thanks for the input guys!

Here it was before the leveling kit. It desperately needed something. It needs a lift NOW. =)

Yeah. Thanks guys. I think I'll do rockstars... because I'll be gettind rid of some of the gold two-tone. I was gonna put on some Bushwackers fender flares and just leave the gold two-tone across the bottom of the doors... would that look good with the rockstars?

That's a sharp lookin' truck. Look at the Rockstar II's. They're not much to look at until you see some custom painted though. Guy somewhere on here just added some with some silver paint on them to match his truck, looks killer. Could throw a little of that gold on the rims to match the trim on the truck.

One thing I had trouble with at first is if I wanted and all black wheel. At first I thought I did, then the more I saw pictures I realized I wanted something to break up all that black. So I am waiting on my Moto Metal 961's to arrive that are black with red trim. Just something to think about.

 

[ARust]

I really don't know what to do anymore. Haha.
Should I lift my truck 4 inches, throw on 35x12.5x20s, with the stock rims and black fender flares?
Or should I level and throw on rockstars on some 33x12.5x20s with black fender flares?

It gets complicated quick doesn't it, lol?

Depends on how high you wanna go and how much money you want to put into it really. If you do just go the level route, consider going to 34's. Like 275/65R20's or something. There's a few truck on here running 34's on a level and they look great.

I say just take your time and look at lots of other 4th Gen Rams. See what trucks look like at different heights and different wheels. You'll figure out what you like, then change your mind a few times probably, lol.

Try and keep the same question in one thread. I just posted on another thread about these questions and then found 2 more threads about the same topic. It will make it easier on people reading your questions and easier on you to see the answers you get.

 

[ARust]

Very very complicated lol.

Money is... ehh kinda a factor. But not as much as look lol.

I've looked at quite a few... I'm kinda leaning towards a 4 inch lift, 35s with rockstar rims... I just think that would look good especially if I eliminated some gold trim with fender flares. I've changed back and forth between level or lift lol.

Here's a link to a Google search for Rockstar II's custom painted. Take a look. I could see a little gold in those lookin' badass against your truck's trim package.

OH! BADASS! Thanks man. Should I get the spokes and the star painted to the color of my gold trim?

Really up to you how you want it to look. I'd go that route though over painting the whole rim gold and leaving the arms black. A little goes a long way IMO.

I almost went this route but decided against it as either way just wouldn't look right to me. Red is hard to balance, so I went with less is more and ordered these.

 

[ARust]

Nice looking rims man.

Well... if I got rockstars and got them painted I think I'd just do the star and maybe bolts gold. Like you said, a little is still alot.
