Of course I'm a big fan of Fuel. They have some pretty sweet looking wheels. They would look pretty good on your truck I would imagine. With your tinted windows I think black would fit right in! IMO

Sweet looking rims--not too sure why you have to change out the rims you have though--thats a lot of green you could spend elsewhere.
You got a sweet ride either way.:893karatesmiley-thu

i like my stock wheels dont get me wrong but theres another silver rt around town that looks too much alike and im looking for something to set mine apart from the other rt's around town but your right that is alot of cash but there really isnt much else i can do to my truck in performance that will require that much money so i figure why not make it look better. And thanks for the complement

Good news is that you can get good money for your RT wheels, so you shouldnt be out of pocket too much on the new setup. Those Boyd wheels are nice, but that look is old school IMO...not a design that belongs on a new sport truck like your RT.

Stock R/t rims/tires go for 2200+ used. I have seen them sale for 3700 dollars... A good new set of rims/tires are 1600-2000 dollars... You should come out ahead... LOL

Try plasti dipping your wheels before you make the big dollar purchase..$6 bucks a can and 4 cans will more than cover all 4 wheels..It will give you a different look to see what other options you like while saveing a ton o cash for now..

I agree that those are too old school for your truck. If it was me I'd keep the wheels you have. It gives it a clean, mean look IMO.
