Well my truck came with the 16" rims. I originally ordered the Pro Comp
Series 8089 16X8 rims.

However, these rims are on national backorder and I need new rims/tires
SOON.

I found a set of American Racing Crush rims (black) in the 17X8 size, in
stock.

I just am not sure that I want to step up to the 17" size.

Otherwise, I found that the Pro Comp Series 1059 16X8s are in stock.

Any ideas on what would look good under my truck? My truck is black over
silver (fender flares, front/rear bumpers, etc)

Thanks,
Kyle
