I'd keep the stockers if those were my choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reshma Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 No aluminum. I'd keep the stockers if those were my choices. All of them are steel. Now you have confused me... Steel=BAD? Cragar Soft 8's are steel and people seem to love them. O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 The Pathfinder alloy wheels are better than those steelies unless you want to use bigger/wider tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reshma Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 The Pathfinder alloy wheels are better than those steelies unless you want to use bigger/wider tires. Thats my ultimate goal. But other than the fact that they are steel. Anything else wrong with any of them? back spacing etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverton Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I like 2, 6 and 7. but I think you need to narrow it down just a bit more. also, go with what you like, and not with what others tell you to get. you'll like YOUR truck a whole lot more.

nunya Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Judging by your choices I'm going to assume you like white wagon wheels As silverton said, it's more what YOU like, nobody else has to drive it. Maby bug a Photoshop user to play with a pic and see what different ones will look like on it, you'll be happier in the long run than if you get ones that "so-and-so liked better" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJSquirrel Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I like #4. I think it would look good with your darker colored rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 So, are you going to be wheeling the truck a lot? Steel holds up a lot better off road against cracking and scraping. If it's mostly going to stay on the pavement, aluminum would probably be better for you and keep the gas mileage up where you're used to. Steel wheels can be pretty heavy and take a bit more power to turn so you may notice a drop in power or MPG. I have the wagon wheels on my Pathfinder but they're painted black. They're much heavier than the stock wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea. I just wanted to know if any of the rims had any problems to look out for. I like the Cragar soft 8's but I love these. Anyone would make me smile.

All of my choices are rims I like..a lot. I like #4. I think it would look good with your darker colored rig. #4 is my favorite too. That and the last one aswell.. and the first one. Well those are my top 3. In order 1-9-4. So, are you going to be wheeling the truck a lot? Steel holds up a lot better off road against cracking and scraping.

RJSquirrel Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) White wagon wheels show rust very quickly, which is why they are rarely seen in the east It stains the paint even before it chips off. The white wagon wheels are more popular out west where rust is a much slower process. Edited September 21, 2011 by RJSquirrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewebster Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 If you get a white spare you can rotate it through with the rest of your tires (as long as it's the same size) and your tires will last 1.25 times as long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
