What brand of wheel should I look for or avoid?

Hey guys, I'm lifting my truck in the next couple months and would like to upsize my tires and widen the stance a bit without using spacers. I don't know much about wheels though. I see a lot of people with Pro Comps and Mickey Thompson. Are there any other brands I should look at? Any that I shouldn't consider? What about American Racing, Cragar, Allied Wheel, US Wheel?

Thanks for the info

 

Wheels and tires are really dependent on what you intend to use the truck for, and what you like. Long story short you get what you pay for. I have 18x9 KMC XD Monster's myself. Other options than what you listed are KMC, Moto Metal, Fuel, Dick Cepek the list goes on. Just make sure whatever wheel you get has ~4.5 inches of backspacing to prevent rubbing on you UCA. Search through some of the forums on here for more info if you get confused on backspacing and offset.

 

Thanks for the recommendations! I've done enough research at this point to keep backspace and offset straight, and to determine that I'd like about 3.5" backspace to push my wheels out just a bit past the fender. But I don't know what brands are reputable and which are terrible. I've found procomps for like $60, and those seem to be popular, but I'm always afraid of going with an inexpensive brand I've never heard of.
