    Wondering if you guys can point me in the right direction. I am in search of the right wheels to put on the truck. Here is what I have in mind:
    18"
    Black (no accents, stainless, or polished bits)
    Simple
    5 or 6 spoke
    20180212_000604_8958fd69fda1027a90366c632e8bbe063082ba67.jpg
    I like the Method Fat five, but I can only find them in 17". I've looked at Fuel wheels and Moto Metal wheels, but didnt find anything I liked.
    What other brands should I investigate?
    What websites do you guys recommend to browse and explore wheel options?
    Thanks

    When I was looking for wheels, I really like one of the Black Rino wheels and was leaning toward them. However, I had questions about fitment and got completely contradicting answers from several dealers. I tried numerous times trying to get answers from Black Rino and their parent company and they completely ignored me. Tried all their emails and facebook page with no luck. Any company who can't help their consumers is not deserving my business. Moved on to another wheel set.

    I was recently surprised with the wheel selection on Ebay. There are many brands there. You can find something you like and shop it from there.

    I know there was the Method brand on Ebay. You can find the vendors on there and inquire about other sizes.

    I do like the ones you have shown :thumbsup:

    Thanks guys. Exactly what I needed. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
    Black Rhino has some good looking stuff, I'm not sure if their customer service will deter me though.

    So I am going to go with the Black Rhino York in Black.
    Part # 1890YRK125150M10 They are 18x9, Front and Rear, 5x150, with +12 offset.

    My question is now, just to verify. I am not buying new tires until I wear these Michelins down a bit. I still drive 100 miles a day to work, so 35's aren't screaming MPG. My stock P255/70R18 should fit these wheels no problem right?

    I think those are only approved for a max of 8.5 width rim. I believe FN wheels are being suggested since you mentioned gas mileage. Those FN BFDs only weight like 20-22lbs.

    So, essentially no. My stock tires wont fit/be rated for the new 9' wide wheel. Damn

    Correct, I would follow those specs by the tire manufacturer. Possibly look for an 8” wide wheel if you really want to those run 255 width.

    You probably could do it and have it stretched. I see Honda civics and such like that. But I personally wouldn’t try it with a big half ton truck that is heavy.
