The Torque Thrusts that MR48Chev talks about are a great looking classic wheel or cragars or rocket racing wheels ect..

My daily is a Dodge 1500 that came with factory 20s. I think it looks great because the wheels are proportional to the size of the truck and the fender openings. My 59 is alot smaller truck when compared to my Dodge.
I don't think there is a right and wrong. I've found "stance," which I'd consider a combination of tire, wheel, and suspension, is an art form. That means everyone has a different preference and the one that speaks to them. For me, I saw a set of 20s on a truck and knew instantly that was the perfect amount of wheel and tire for my truck. I've seen some 18s with white walls that look killer too.
