    I like the Hulk 755 myself. Are you looking at the black or chrome?

    I personally don't care, i would prefer to have chrome but, price might convince me to get black. Then when i get cash, powder coat them the same colour as my truck.

    I personally like the black ones better myself. I've never been partial to chrome though.

    I ended up buying Toyo Open Country Mud Terrains, 33" from a person in town(i live in country) who was bumping up to a 6" lit and 35" tires. I'm picking the tires up for half of what they cost new, and they still have 85%-90% tread left. So, it saved me money instead of buying brand new.

    If I were you, I would go with the Hulks, in black, and then powder coat them to match the truck, if you like to go off road a lot. If not, I would go chrome then.

    Cool help on deciding rims

    I like the Mazzi. I dont remember, but does your truck already have a 3inch body lift? If it doesnt I dont think the 10inch wide wheels will clear with a level only kit.

    I think the Hulk looks the best. The other 137 series only comes in 8 lug by the way.
    Good luck.
