i like the stock wheels better than either of those.



I think those would look killer on your truck. Ultra rogue.

I don't like the Cepeks at all, they just look cheap to me for some reason. Everyone does have the bulletholes, as do I. They look good but a ton of Rangers/Jeepers run them. I say do something different, I love the rim that Alon posted. Your stockers look good on there too.

I like 15x8 personally. You can order those rims through modbargains and use coupon code "ultra10" for 10% off...I think that should still be working. I dont work there any more, but that should be the cheapest place to get them.

yeah, thanks for your input man. im glad that you brought those wheels to my attention. i really like them and when the check from my army bonus goes into the bank tonight, im gonna order them. and you suggest the 15x8 over the 15x10. is there a reason behind it or just what you would prefer. i would like for the tires to stick out a little bit. will the 15x8's in the ultra rogue's achieve that look?

www.modbargains.com or www.summitracing.com. modbargains would probably have the best deals on wheels. summit racing has a long list of wheels to choose from and information on them.
