Default Which rims to buy?

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting wheels for my truck hopefully in spring some time after I get the lift on. Which ones do you think are better rims?

M/T Classic II Wheel

Dick Cepek DC-1 Wheel

I like them both and wouldn't mind having either one, just not sure which are better, Dick Cepek or Mickey Thompson. They're both polished aluminum. Might go for chrome but they're considerably more expensive.

Alternative suggestions are also welcome. I'm planning on running 285 or 305/75/R16 Toyo Open Country A/T tires on them.

I love the MT Classic II's way better than those 5 spoke things. I like wheels with offset to them, not a fan of the "flat" look. I like the look of deep dish with a lip if that makes seance I put a MT classic on my truck when we were rotating my buds tires and loved the look.

BTW Don't go smaller than 18"

Cool man. I really like the classic look of those rims too, and the dished look with I lip, I know what you mean.

Why go 18" or larger though?

I personally wouldn't go larger than 18 myself, but I love the look of the 18 over a 16 or 17. Just personal preference.

What color is your truck? I like the looks of the DC1 Blacks. Thats what im going to put on my truck. Biggest issue with 18 is the price of the tire compared to a 16.

You can judge by the picture as they are obviously two different offsets and it will make them look different.

I like the DC1 better unles you were going with the classic locks whick I like as much as the dc1
