Looking at wheels and tires
Now that my SAS is wrapped up it's time to get tires. I'm also thinking about getting wheels though, I've narrowed it down to a couple choices and wanted to get more feedback.
Tires: I'm pretty dead set on getting 35x12.5" Toyo Open Country MT, I think they look great, have an aggressive sidewall, and as I found out from my brother in law, very quiet on the highway.
Wheels: This is where I'm unsure. I've had Eagle Alloy 185's for a couple years now, and I don't deny they are good looking wheels. I just want a change, and I feel like spokes would look good. Anyway, here are the 2 I'm thinking about.
Fuel Maverick
Examples:
Fuel Trophy
Examples
And here's the newest pics of my truck

Either way I go, I'm not going smaller than 17"
Probably 17" or 18"
Hopefully I can find someone to photoshop both of these onto my truck.
I was leaning to the Mavericks until I saw the Trophy's, I think either will look good.
I'd hate to get Mavericks and be looked at as another brodozer

I don't think there's anything wrong with my current wheels. I've just gotten that bigger wheel itch, and I feel like this might be a chance to change it up.
I figured it's best to get wheels now since I'm already thinking about it, then get new tires and have to wait until they wear down.
On a side note, does anyone know someone good with photoshop?

True, but proportionally it does not. I definitely get the argument though, you aren't losing any sidewall, you just aren't increasing it when increasing tires which could be an advantage offroad. I really don't think you can go wrong either way though.

Some made this for me.
EDIT: Why so small? Link just shows this, I can see it full size though

Unrelated question: What setup to do you for window tint? I'm getting mine redone soon. I like that look.
I can definitely see both sides of the coin on this. It's really just a matter of preference and your needs for the truck. Like you said, it can go either way.

I'd go with the trophy's and 17's. 18's would look pretty good as well but I wouldn't go any bigger. If the mavericks were all black I'd like them more but the silver on the spokes bugs me. Bottom line, both are cool looking rims that will look great on your truck!
I feel like Trophy's need to be bigger to even discern the wheels design. The spokes seem close together
