Default help me choose between 2 16inch rims

both are ultra rims and both would be 16x8 or 16x10's with 285 tires on them. They would be going on a charcoal grey 04 1500 4x4 with 3inch lift if that matters.

im leaning towards this one since it would be easier to keep clean than the bottom one. Plus it just seems to have a more agreesive offroad type look tp it. These would be my summer rims also so

thank ya... simple and good looking I think lol.


I like the M/T classics, but man... those are a dime in a dozen down here. The shop up the road sells 3 sets a week of those so im not getting the same stuff all the locals have.

I like the first one (I like 5 spoke wheels). Kinda reminds me of the 454 SS wheel, but nicer.

I like them both honestly. I do think though that the bottom set will look nice. The bead lock would make it look really aggressive. It a hard choice though, it would be nice to photoshop them to see which ones would look better.

The first set (5 spokes) are 5 lug. Are you sure that the 6 lug version isn't a 6 spoke wheel? Usually that is the case on wheels where the lugnuts are exposed.
