It all depends on what tickles your fancy. I personally like big wheels with lo-pro tires. I run 20/22's on my blazer and 22/24's on my shortbox. I think that big wheels only really look good if the truck is lowered.
Here's some pics.

Re: Show off your 6 lug wheels

Here's my 69 with stock rims and caps.



I do have a set of 15 x 8 Rally's for it. No sense in putting on wider tires for the winter here in upstate NY.

Do you really drive that beautiful truck in the Winter on the sleet and salty roads?
