Question 22's to 24's



I know some of you arent big fans of really big rims. But I have decided to sell the 22's and go with 24's. I will also be going from a Belltech 3/4 to a DJM 4/6. I am currently having the front fenderwells removed and new one's welded in to clear for the 24's. Let me know what you guys think about the two wheels below. I can't decide on Black/Chrome or Chrome.

May I ask why? Your truck looks super cool with the rims you have on right now.

Well first of all I think I am one who is never satisfied. I always want bigger and better. Second, I have never seen someone go with a 4/6 and 24's. And I plan on being the one to make it happen. Everyone keeps telling me I couldnt do it and I am going to show them I can . Plus I want my truck to stand out from all the others. I just think it is going to look great.

I would go with the black/chrome. It will go with the truck, IMO(since you blacked out the taillights).

I think your truck looks great as is. IMO if you had an extended cab it would look sick on 24s, but not a regular cab, it would just look out of porportion. This is coming from a guy in the show scene rather than performance as well.

Trust me I think it will look really good.....it just needs to be lower so it will tuck the wheels about an inch all around.

I say go for it, or you could also try 22's on front and 24's on the back.

i say you go for the chrome wheels. i'm just not a big fan of black wheels. but hey, that's my opinion. and on the subject of 24s, go for it. its your truck. it also would look pretty sick to roll around tucking an inch of rim all around while driving.

Black wheels, no doubt. Chrome just looks cheap to me. Make sure you upgrade your brakes too. Rolling 24" with stock brakes not only looks funny but it's very dangerous.
