    Alright guys I've decided to go with Varrstoen ES 2.2.1
    18x9.5 +22 on 225/45/18 all around for small stretch and smaller tire to keep me from rubbing so much I will run a small spacer up front to make the front come out and match the rear

    I need some thoughts on colors though

    Matte Black

    love those kinds of wheels! really simple and clean looking. No complicated patterns or bull shit. They will look sick either way...however everyone rocks the same shit probably because it looks good, so black would get my vote. However stepping out from the mold is always a good so we will see them when they are on the truck!

    Exactly why i like em very simple I'm not fan off busy rims but true I know EVERYONE rocks these but I have yet to see em rocked on a base model so thats one step towards different (tough Kelson had em for awhile) and yeah I mean if the white gets old I can always grab 2 cans plasti dip and make em black

    but definitely will need to see it on the truck first!! after notch and level it out I think ill be happy:D

    I just saw it on his build he ran 19x9.5 +22 up front 245/35/19

    And 19x10.5 +22 275/30/19

    Good thing I didn't go with the 10.5 I'd be poking for days!!!

    I think it's interesting how one's tastes change over time. I used to hate black rims... I thought they made a vehicle look like it had it's snow tires on (since most modded vehicles here in Wisconsin run black "stealie" wheels with snow tires in the winter). I also thought it was a waste of money to buy fancy wheels only to paint them black. Who can see the detail when it's black?

    But after having silver wheels for the past 12 years, I now obsessed with black wheels even though the style is probably getting a bit dated. I haven't warmed-up to the idea of white wheels yet, but I can certainly see why one would want to do something a little different since nearly everyone has black wheels these days.

    This is what happens when something goes straight through your new tire and lets all the air out. :mad:

    Yeah Ive always liked the combination of white on white but some combos don't go together in all i hope it looks good I'm praying it comes in next weekend!!!!!!


    Yeah same here i used to be a fan of chrome then black sorta got me but now days i really am not a fan of chrome after seeing how pitted shit gets
    no thinks not for me plus its a lil flashy and yeah with black wheels u can't see the pattern but my previous wheel was a simple 6 spoke 22" wheels so no pattern to really see

    but like you said just tryna go for something different

    dayum!!!!!!!!!!

    thats scary as F***:eek:

    Yeah, I wouldn't mind not doing that ever again. It is just a good thing the rim isn't damaged.
