I'm planning on getting some new rims soon. I have a 04 Silver ST, and i was thinking about getting these rims. How do you think this will look?

Buy em, then ship them to me and I'll install em on y 04 silver ST,then I'll take pics and send them to you:p I know theyll look better on mine, but hey:lol:



Seriously tho. I think they'd look awsome. I would like to get either similar to those or I saw the same or very similar design all chrome the other day that looked cool also.
 
You have the option to see how the wheels would look on your trac using the provided feature on tireracks site. Depending on what size you choose, should be pretty nice...



I like the ziniks. Initially I ordered the black z23 ruffinos for my trac, but was told that it was backordered and it was unknown as to when more would be available. I settled for American Racing's Octane wheel, 20x8.5...

They should look real nice. Nice contrast black with chrome lip, against the silver trac. It will look best with blackwall tire. No white letters.
 
Am with Eddie, gotta be a blackwall, and JMO, go with an 18 if they have them.

Never been a fan anything larger than 18s, unless you can do a 6 inch drop.
 
I like the design but a black wheel is hard to pull off on a lighter colored vehicle, especially on a truck, it's easier on a car. If you had a black ST then I would say go for it, but silver.......IDK. The bigger you get this wheel the better it will look. AN 18" is the minimum size I would get and IMO a 20" would look ALOT better.
 
The main thing about going to larger wheels , is the lower profile tire that go along with them. With very little sidewall to help absorb the shock of hitting pot hole etc. the wheels take the brunt of the impact. I talked with our most popular tire & wheel dealer before I bought wheels a few years back. His advice was if i drive it on the street often done get them. He said that almost every set of wheels 20 or larger, the owners were back in less than a month, asking him to straighten their wheels, where they hit potholes and other road hazards and bent the rims. Said he can do it a couple of times, after that, the integrity of the wheel is very much compromised. Just a thought.
 
If you buy a good set of wheels, which Zinik are, and don't get stupid with the tire size then you shouldn't really have an issue with bending a wheel. A 20" wheel on a ST probably puts the sidewall somewhere around the 45-55 range depending on the width which still leaves a good amount of sidewall. Obviously you aren't offroading the vehicle judging by the rim you are wanting to get so I wouldn't worry about it.
 
Im with Bill, on the 18"...

Check my library I have 18" They came with the white leters. Replacments will be blackwall. Mine is a silver '04.

Check Bills' also. He has 18"
 
I have absolutely no issues with my 20's. I'm running 275/45R20's and they're the perfect size for the wheel. I drive mainly street and I've hit some pretty big potholes, went camping a couple times with the trac which did entail some minor off roading, but no damage done.



In fact, my wheels are in such good condition that some critter thought it was edible :)

20s look great on alot of vehicals, being that you have to run a low prof, tire,IMO they do not fill up the wheel wells enough.
