Default Which wheels to go with?

I'm trying to decide between the following two. Yeah yeah, they say Nascar on them, but for the price and weight, they seem a good deal to me since I can't afford a set of Welds or anything like that.

1. 25.4 Lbs each

2. 30.5 lbs. each

What size tire are you gonna run, what color is your truck, what size are the wheels, etc.

judgeing from your post in the classifieds, I assume your truck is the one pictured. If thats the case, I would go with the first ones. That redline would look sweet!

Wheels, cleaned up


Stance with a 2" shackle.

I'm not a fan of either but if I had to pick it would be the red ones. Why are you wanting a color stripe?

I 2nd this, 5 spoke Titan 18's are around 29# I believe, but between the 2 choices given I would say #1. Just ditch the red stripe & center cap, IMO.
