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. :U:

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 lol 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" :c:

:U: 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?

Red_Rattler 02-23-2009 03:41 PM

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.

I though there'd be alil more input than just me :lol:

DIRTYMAX2004 02-26-2009 12:45 PM

18's are the perfect size in my opinion :rocking:

biged681985 02-26-2009 01:14 PM

i love the looks of 8 hole aluminum rims.

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

My truck is pewter. I don't have any good pics uploaded on DB, just one in my profile album.

If I get the DC-1, I'm leaning towards the polished one instead of the black one. I like the look better. The black rim I don't like, wouldn't look as nice on my truck I think.

What I like about the DC-1 is the more edgy design, a bit more modern looking. The Classic II really is a more classic subtle looking rim, and it does look nice. I'm a little torn between the two. I normally wouldn't hold a poll for something so trivial lol.

The backspacing and offset on the two rims are virtually identical (4" and 12/13mm respectively), but you're right, from the picture they may not have photgraphed the same size rims for display.

I'd go with the DC-1 in 18's. :U: I want black wheels but i agree with you on them not looking right on a pewter truck.
