Which Rim Would You Choose?

[Dogpatch]

I got a good deal on rims for my Ram 1500 Limited.
One set will be used for 3 seasons and one set for winters.
One is a 5 spoke aluminum and one is a 6 spoke aluminum.

Which would you chose as the main wheel? Pic 1 or Pic 2?

New 275/55R20 Yokohama Geolander GO15’s will go on the winter rims.

Although I like the design of the first wheel, I prefer the 6 spoke wheel. Mainly because of the symmetry between the lug nuts and spokes.

I like the second one more, adds some contrast with an all white truck.

I'm going to be different as I like the first one. To me, it looks like a simpler wheel and the second one looks like it already has scratches on it. Because of that, the second one would be a good winter wheel. I'm also a fan of the OWL on the outside as well. But, that's just my opinion. Ultimately, you'll have to be happy with your choice. Good luck...

I too prefer the simple 5 spoke. I find the 6 spoke a little busy looking.
I’m kinda old school and always liked the Craigar 5 spoke chrome mag.
this takes me back to that look.
No scratches in the second one. They’re mint.
And 5 spoke, way easier to clean!

Yeah, I remember the old-school cragar wheels (and keystone classics), but I too liked the cragar better. The scratches that I feel like I see on the 2nd one are in the photo to the left of the green valve stem. Maybe it's a reflection though?

5 spoke for winter 6 spoke the rest of the time

I like #2. I wouldn't even put #1 on the truck.

Your giving away your age. Lol

Owned both of those wheels you mentioned back in the 70's.

OP, wheel #2 is a bit sportier.

You won't go wrong with either wheel.

Second one looks great but all up to your own taste!

Sorry any 6-Spoke lovers...

The 5-Spoke guys won out. I like it!

 

[Dogpatch]

This is what’s going on the 6 Spoke next week and then stored till November.

Sumitomo Encounter A/T. 275/55R20
Pretty good winter snow and ice ratings. Good price too!

 

[Dogpatch]

Decided against the Sumitomo and go straight to a full winter tire for my other set.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3

Excellent ratings. #1 Top Rated.

 

[Fatbob Frank]

#2 is awesome IMO...

Perfect...you'll love them!

Dogpatch, I too loved the 5 spoke old school cragars. I wish they made a set of 20" in the old style for our trucks!
