    Those are pretty nice.

    I've always liked the 14's and 15's. Nothing smaller nothing bigger, just my :2cents:.

    I like wheels that hide the lug nuts. Much cleaner looking. Drag Radials wont last long.

    If you like the little/big look then you might want to go smaller then the 6 inch rim. I have 15 x6 on the front and wish they were smaller, and go with the 28s in the rear to fill the wells.

    Nice looking wheels. 15's are a good size. That should look excellent. I'm not a fan of the huge rim / wagon wheel look you see on so many cars today.

    im with maine on that. sidewall area makes the ride softer, the cornering a little smoother feeling, and correct me if im wrong, but dont you need more sidewall to compress when you drag on low pressure? course i really laugh at the wagon wheel look on trucks cause out here in the winter you have to be able to jump the curb once in a while to avoid people spining on the ice.
