    Iv been researching for 3 nights here trying to decide what wheels I want. Im looking for 17x9 with a 4.5 (or close) backspace. Looking for something in black with not alot of chrome in it. I keep coming back to the XD revolvers..but I feel like I would like something a little more flashy..any ideas?

    I don't mean to sound like a dick, but save the money and buy something for your truck that serves a purpose, not something that "looks cool". If you can get an awesome deal on some used rims or something go for it. But I would never spend a lot of money on something that is purely cosmetic, there's so much more you could do for 800+ dollars.
    Lockers, coilovers, better tires, bumper with more clearance, winch, better control arms, the list goes on. Spend money where it counts

    Some people like a bit of flash to their stuff. I say keep looking man. It took me forever to find a set of rims I liked.

    Its not "for looks" my tires now rub on the LCAs with my 2 inch lift... so I need rims with a 4.5 backspace....I could get spacers but why not get new wheels with the backspacing all in them. Plus the dealer wont service my vehicle with wheel spacers....thats why.

    And I will be getting new tires.....just as soon as I can fit them without rubbing.
