Hey guys help me out here in trying to decide which rims i should get.

 

The Incubus would look great coz its black and will match my truck

Im running the cooper stt tires 33X12.5X15

I originally planned on going with the 31 but since Im doing the SL on the truck I might as well go all the way and do a BL too .

 

Let me know what you guys think

Is that the one you have on your truck? It sure looks better than the steelies .

 

Perfection tires gave me a killer deal on either the incubus or ultra with 33's at $1150(incubus) and $1250(ultra). heck, I couldnt even get it at that price 6 months ago with just the 31's.

I would much rather smack a ~$40 wheel against a rock/whatever, than a ~$100+ wheel. Thats just me though...I'm not a baller.

 

All 5 mounted balanced with tire warranty is around a grand...(I didn't pay that much...but I know a guy that knows a guy)

 

with cheaper tires you could easily do this for cheeeeep.

Something to keep in mind: If you're going to be doing any serious off-roading, cheap cast aluminum/pot metal wheels from SE Asia are a bit sketchy. There have been more than a few break. A good forged alloy wheel manufactured by a reputable company is fine, but they cost more than a bit more!

 

That is why I went with an inexpensive but reputable name brand US made steel wheel for my offroad tires. A few pounds heavier, but where a cast alloy wheel will break or shatter, these will at most bend or warp a little.

It doesn't.

 

That is called taking advantage of a situation, which is Rule #1 for increasing profitability.

 

Unfortunately, also guaranteed to piss off and chase away customers, but hey, business managers are measured on short term profits, not long term success.
