help on choosing wheels
I have a navy blue extended cab silverado and was going to get some wheels in the 17" size. My choices so far are the Pro Comp 7005, Pro Comp 7089, and the Moto Metal 957 Black. Which one do yall think would look the best on my truck in that size? Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated.

to make it an easier choice, post a picture of your truck and the wheels and the talented guys here will photo shop them on your truck for you.

Re: help on choosing wheels
I like the first one too, but is there any way to get the chrome screws on the outside in black.

You can either paint them yourself, or just go with the second choice which isnt to shabby either. I would choose the second one myself, like the offset of the wheel better.

Re: help on choosing wheels
Ok ive changed my wheel choices slightly. Now I am looking at: Pro Comp 7005, Moto Metal 957 Black, or the XD 796 Revolver Black. Does anyone have any of these wheels, or heard things about them? Which one do yall think looks the best?

Re: help on choosing wheels
I've actually been debating whether to get 17s or 18s, I think 18s would look better but 17s are what i have now. 18" tires are also more expensive then the 17" haha. Thats why I like the Pro Comp 7005 a lot because they come in a 17 x 8 size so I could fit bigger tires.

Re: help on choosing wheels
The moto metal 957's look very cluttered in the 17" size IMO. I almost got them until i saw them in person. The 18's in that style look decent though..

The second ones. Cleaner style, not as trendy. you won't get tired of them as fast as you might with the others.
