I have some 17" Raceline Raptor's on my truck. Raceline has some really good looking wheels for a reasonable price.

If you look close on my back ground pic you can kinda seem em

I heart BMF's, just can't afford them. I'd take some 20x10 SOTA's in the death metal finish...mmmmm

Fuel makes some nice wheels too.

I see weld has reintroduced some wheels to the market too, quality is top notch.

We should probably ask what your price range is and what size you think you want first though...

I dont know what my wheels are rated for, but my tires are rated for 4200# each. I have towed 28k before without issues.
