A thing of the past ? does nobody like them anymore on the OBS...... or is it get the bigger wheels cause they look cool? I am currently running 17" Motos that i cant stand they are ugly as hell!!! but if i stay lifted i was thinking of going back to 15's............lighter wheel and cheaper tires and i think it still gives a bettter ride and handling? what do you guys think.

My 15 inch centerline rims are housed on extra wide 15 inch tires with slightly taller than normal side walls and I have a very smooth highway and street ride. I have street type all terrain tires without the aggressive mud tire look. Also running monroe reflex shocks on a 2wd 1500.

i think it all depends on the style of the wheel. but i say 16--17s looks the best.

maybe thats true, but when i took off my 315/70/17's and put on my 33/12.50/15's on Eagle 058 15x10 i got ALOT of thumbs up on the highway and compliments sitting in the parking lot.

I still see alot of offroader using 15's

But i still say you cant beat the Mickey classics or the eagle 058 are just the perfect rim for the OBS.........In my opinion of course.

i agree with you 100%. even 15's look good. but if i were you i would just go with 17's since you have the tires. unless you dont like the tires.

Love 33s on 15" wheels for these trucks... I've also given a lot of debate with going back to a 15" wheel, they look super tough on 4x4 400s.
