Some salesperson was trying to shy me away from getting 18" wheels. He didn't think that it would look good. I'm pretty sure there would still be a good amount of tire on there.

Can I see some 18" wheels?

Because 20's look better.

I might be going to the 18's also. I don't like real big rims and think 18's look real good. I will stick around and see what pics get posted...

20's haven't been "real big" for years lol, a lot of vehicles have 20's stock now

He wanted me to get some black 15" wheels and grab some 30+ inch tires.

...and that isn't the look I'm going for.

I picked 18" because I think they look big, without looking ridiculous.

I know 20's are not big by any means these days but I just like the way 18' look, hardly any different from 17's. I just like the look of a little more sidewall as opposed to the 20's. I do have to admit, there is a black cc on here that has 20" r/t rims that I love the way it looks. I would definately not get 15's except for drag slicks

Ok... lets review. Salespeople are hired to sell. They are not hired for opinions. People hired for their opinions are called "consultants"... pretty simple.

if you're lowered 18s are perfect for daily use -- good sidewall height on moderately priced lower profile tires.

lowered 2/3 with 18s on 255/55/18

Herse a few pics of my truck with 18's, the sidewall of the tires are 55.

18's are just fine - I went through a couple of sets of 18's before I bumped up to 20's.

 

[KeithBMI]

Thanks for the pictures guys.

I was looking at these wheels for my black Dakota. I like the simple look, but you'll still know that they're not stock.

you saying that the sidewalls are 55 doesnt mean anything unless you give the width as well...55 of a 235 is alot less then 55 of 275!

Not too bad...I think I like those, myself. How much coin they want for those? Are are they lighter, about the same or heavier than stock (15x8 5 split spoke)s? If different weigh, about how much?

 

[hwystar]

her you go...18" MB Motoring "Vapours"

I believe they are around $145 each for the 18s, but I can't find a weight.

 

[shiftmx55]

yes, those are 18 inch MB express wheels
