18's too small?

I was thinking the same thing. Going with 20 inch rims is gonna weigh more, have less sidewall so a little rougher ride and tires and the rims should be cheaper in 18s. That being said what do you think will look better or do you guys have any that you've seen that look good on tungsten.

Those are the ones I was leaning towards. On the silver, black and red trucks black rims look nice. Just not sure if on the tungsten metallic ( which looks brown sometimes...which I don't like ) they will look good

Of those 3 I would say the XD, the other two are solid black on a dark truck, never been a huge fan of the completely murdered look. Plus when the tire shine wears out the tire looks dirty on a black wheel when its clean.

 

Those 3 wheels though I see all over the place (at least the brands XD and Rockstar). I would find something else more unique that is mostly black but breaks up the wheel with some polished aluminum or something, similar to what CBrownGT did.

^^^ sad to agree. as much as I love all 3 of those rims after starring at them they may not "fit" my truck. Damn if only mine was a different color lol

Skip the Fuel's and XD's and get some 18" Methods. Not nearly as played out/popular...

 

Black Rhino Sierra's are nice too...

I've got 18x9 Fuel Cleavers on mine. I also have a 4" BDS kit, and 305/65/18 KO2's. Click on the link in my sig if you want to see pictures.

I vote 17 ;) However, 18s look good too. I prefer either of those over 20".

    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

    • Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
