Well, I've decided that since i want to be in shows with the truck, i'm going to just use those as show rims. I might even get the new American Racing RT-S 20inchers with some 35's for show.

BUT, for actual daily driving and whatnot, I'm going to have to find some different ones.

ANY SUGGESTIONS??

dont get rockcrawlers not knocking the wheels its just the fact that everybody and their grandma has them. seem like every truck has them not just on here but everywhere. at least put some chrome bullet holes or something. hell white wagon wheels would even be different, wouldnt look that great but be different.

YEah, The RCD won't fit the Edges cause I already talked to one of the guys from RCD. And It's like 1500.

And if I got MT Classic 2s I'd be just like everyone else... No offense Zach, cause your truck is hot.

There's only like 5 offroad wheels that fit the ranger.

I was lookin at getting the AR Mojave Teflon 15x8s.

Well, RCD does now! It's $2450!!

I'm still gonna get the Camburg kit. Hell, I could get the Dual shock version for that much!

I don't think that many people have the rock crawlers, it just seems like it to us, because quite a few people have them on this site. But in all actuality, very seldom do I see a truck with them in my area.

I think they are around more than you might think. maybe not in your area, but they are definately a crap ton of em.

thats why I got the soft eights when they came out though. not many people have that design...

Well, I suppose I've narrowed it down to the Mojave Teflons and a Camburg 6.0

Any other suggestions for 15x8 or 15x10 wheels (pics/links included)...

Don't get the longtravel kit unless you actually plan on using it for what it's meant to be used for. The 6.0 will be a decent lift, but you are still going to be cranking your torsions with that kit.
