looking for some new rims.

[KiKaZz74]

im tired of my stock rims on my truck. ugly little 15" on the dakota... so i was looking at discount tire and found some decent looking mb wheels 20" strykers or 17" chaos 6s. anyone had any experience with either of these? not sure if or when ill get them just looking for some feedback.

any other brands/models/sizes you guys would suggest? no more than maybe $225 per rim at absolute most since i need to get my dad on board to help get them for me or pay some with me

btw they are 215/75 stock

also any tires you guys would suggest to get on them? looking for 17"+ rims but idk how big i can go with my wheel well anybody know about that?

[KiKaZz74]

anyone have any input? need some new rims and tires for my 1997 dodge dakota 4wd

basically are mb wheels any good? looking at either the stykers or the chaos 6s.

any other brands that are in that price range? up to maybe $200 per rim not much more

any certain size/brand/model i should be loking for? i live in an area with alot of potholes so no low pros

what tires should i look into to go with the rims?

stocks are 15"s i was thinking about 17/18s

measurement is 215/75

any input is appreciated thanks guys

what do you know i work at discount tire

that mb striker is a pretty nice wheels actually, one of the few that i actually like.

the mb chaos 6 isnt too bad either, id go with ^ ^ ^ over it.

this is the next one i would with before the chaos, mb tko

tire wise id go with a 31x10.5x15

depending what kind of tread pattern you want, more aggressive the bfg allterrain, michelin at2, goodyear duratrac, yokohama ats

normal highway, general hts, dunlop rover, yokohama hts

STAY AWAY FROM FROM THE FALKEN ROCKY MOUNTAIN those suck lol

if those tires are alittle higher on price range then the 235-75-15 should work, they have most of those in either size

[KiKaZz74]

Sweet. Thanks bro. And would you take 15s over 17s? If i stayed 15s I could just swap my current tires but they just look so small thats why I was wanting to go a little bigger. Btw the truck is like a dark forrst green color. Think all those would look good on there?

[KiKaZz74]

umm who should i be looking at to get the actual tires? because there was nothing for my truck in 17s tire wise and no rimes at 15" so i bumped to 17" and found the rims but no tires now

anything black should look good on there, honestly the two tone wheels are not my favorite but that mb stricker looks pretty good

what you can do is trade in your old tires and tell them to give you trade in credit, also look on tire racks website and check tire prices so they can price match them, act like you dont want them and they will give you a good deal so that you buy both wheels and tires(dont tell them i told you that lol )

sucks your ways away other wise id hook you up on everything, if you need lugs...witch you will let me know ill send you some for what i pay for them

let me check to see whats available for your truck tire wise and ill post back..............

EDIT: just go in and see whats available in the 17, check the different sizes in that 17 bc the price on tires will also be different(another way to save $$$)

hope that helps

alright thanks if nothing else think u could just get a me overall discount? i have to go throuhg either the rockford chicago or springfield warehouse cuz im not doing the shipping crap and id rather just have them install them. and how would i go about the trade in? just take them there? or call them?

btw i need a set of 5. i have a full spare tire not a doughnut

I'd call to find out how exactly they do it. I'm sure every place is different, even within the same chain. But I'd call and they'll probably say to just bring them in, they'll look at them and give you a price of what they'll give you for em.
