No offense but why would you want to put 20" rims on a good looking truck and make it look like something out of a rap video? Just the mental picture looks goofy to me.

Weld Racing makes some very nice rims and they will still allow you to tow the same as stock. http://www.weldevo.com/

When done right it looks perfectly fine. I personally like 20" rims wrapped with some meaty A/T's or M/T's.

I agree as well when done right... If they are 22" or 24" with diamond encrusted gold or platnum is a great example of what not to do. Jethrro

Shift220. why you still here? Aren't you supposed to be on s10forum.com?

I personally am getting sick of seeing every new Dmax, PSD and CTD rolling on bling bling rims. Nothing more than street queen. If you really have to have them, get a set from Weld or American Racing. Although I looked on WELD's site and I didn't see to many rims that would help you out if you have 4x4 due to the hubs, unless they have the removable caps or a hole suited for them. IMO the money spent on those rims($2000-$2500) could get you a lot more power from a 1st gen.

Yes, because you can't tow with rims? And I don't see that many people offroading with their big diesel trucks, so are those all street queens? The new trucks have them because they look good with them. It doesn't hinder their performance at all. Besides, this is a first gen and how many do you see with rims on them? Being original isn't all a bad thing...

Ya not all rims are "bling" just because they are big! My rims have nothing to do with bling and there not just for looks. you gonna try and tell me that a 20x10 rim with 275's on it aren't gonna be better for traction!? My truck is exactly a street queen! what else would I do with it?! its two wheel drive and I could tow if I wanted to but then I couldn't get as serious with power wise. My truck is a toy and is meant to be driven street

Btw 20's can be had for much cheaper then $2000-2500 range!

Most guys I see around here have my rims with mud tires on etc. I think they look good with street tires also. Plus they don't have no stupid diamond shapes or nothing just a spoke design. Besides there noit even chrome! Just polished aluminum
