Shoot bro, it took me 8 months to decide on wheels. Its a tough decision, because unless you have a money tree out back, wheels are expensive. Hell, I went back an forth with some fellas on here about what to do. Finally bit the bullet and bought some. One thing that I learned in the whole process is get what you want. Its your sled, your the one riding it and paying for it. If you like something and somebody says dont do it, hell with them get what you want brother. Its good to get opinions and all, but if you like a certain style or size or whatever, run with it. Just be sure to post some pics for all of us to see, thats a RULE on here. lol

You will need a new front fender or some brackets to raise the stock fender if you go with a 21". My advice is to get the 21" as if you don;'t every time you see one you will be thinking you should have gone all out.
