I'm interested in your guys opinions of good looking off roading wheels. What is the best size wheel for 31s-35s?

And to the guys in the cepeks thread sorry about being a douche ill play nice this time :P

I'm running matte black Black Rock 15x8 with 4" backspacing on 35x12.50 Bfg KM2s. They look like cragars pretty much. I like the looks but one of the center caps has some surface rust after maybe 2 yrs...possibly from dog pee tho.

I don't know much about matching tires with wheel widths. 8" seems pretty common with 10.50 or 12.50 tires. And there are issues people have had airing down on narrower wheels I believe. There's some info all over the place on here about it.

I'd run a 8" wide wheel for 31-32's and a 10" wide wheel for 33-35's. Diameter is all personal preference.
