No pics, but I think some XD Diesels or simmilar would look really good.

Also 16 and 17 wheels you have a better selection of OEM wheels that are take off's and can be real cheap to get.

Thanks for stating this. That is exactly what I was going to say. 15's are usually more expensive than 16 or 17s as you can get take offs for much cheaper for tires too. If you buy new tires then maybe but who and why would you ever do that? you can get 255/75/17 (Wrangler BFG MT take offs) for $400 or less for a set of 5. Many more are running 16 and 17s on newer trucks so your options are greater. I used to be of the old school thought that 15's rule, but finally came around. People used to say the same thing about 14's back in the hot rod days too.
