Honorable Mention: DV8 Offroad 886
DV8 Offroad makes our list with the honorable mention nod for its admirable performance across all our metrics. While it didn't stand out in any one area, it's an overall great wheel with some nice perks. The 3,500-pound load rating is impressive, and the matte bronze finish is a really distinctive alternative for those who want to spice up their ride beyond the usual black or charcoal. At the end of the day, the 886 is a reliable option for both performance and looks.

How To Choose the Best Truck Wheels
Choosing the best truck wheels comes down to knowing what you plan to do with your truck. Are you looking for performance, looks, or both? Will you be doing a lot of towing or carrying heavy loads? (If so, you might also want to look into upgrading to ceramic or semi-metallic brake pads.)
You'll want to look for the right towing capacity and off-road capabilities if you prioritize performance, but if not, it could be as simple as picking the coolest-looking wheel you can find that matches the look of your truck. It doesn't hurt to consider manufacturer warranties, too—some are limited to factory defects, while more generous ones even cover finish for up to a year.
Methodology
As one of the leading aftermarket retailers in the game, AmericanTrucks is staffed with knowledgeable pickup enthusiasts, so we used our staff's advanced product knowledge and experience to rank our wheels. To make our picks, we ranked dozens of our most popular wheels by scoring them on a 1-5 scale on these five factors:
-
- Overall performance
- Overall quality
- Off-road performance
- Appearance
- Price
Once we tallied the final scores, we whittled down our top eight selections using the scores as guides. We also leaned on expert testing and product specs to supplement those scores to come up with what we believe are objective but reasoned winners in each category.
Best Truck Wheel FAQs
What Are the Best Wheels for Trucks?
Based on our scoring, these are eight great options for your pickup truck: Fuel Vapor (Best All-Around), Pro Comp Wheels 05 Series Torq (Best on a Budget), Fuel Vector (Most Versatile), Moto Metal MO985 Breakout (Coolest-Looking), RTR Tech 6 (Most Badass), Weld Cinch Beadlock W902 (Best Off-Road), Mammoth Split 8 (Staff Favorite), and DV8 Offroad 886 (Honorable Mention).
Are Aftermarket Truck Wheels Worth It?
Aftermarket truck wheels are absolutely worth it if you're looking to upgrade your truck to a custom look or enhance its performance. Factory wheels are fine for general use, but quality wheels are essential for off-roading, racing, and extensive towing.
How Much Do New Rims Cost?
For the average driver, you can expect rims to cost anywhere from around $80 to $500 apiece depending on whether you're looking for aesthetics alone or a blend of looks and performance. Premium options can easily run up to $3,000 or more.
