Not necessarily...aftermarket wheels could be sweet!! Buy a set of SS wheels. That'll definately set ur ride off.

But it seems like it would be a pain to worry about the offset and lug pattern on after market stuff like that RZAwora brought to my attention. But I totally want to get a set, it would definatly make my ride look sweet :thumbsup:

Get a set of factory reproduction SS wheels. Those are badass and come in 20's or 22's. I want the 22's in black.

Don't let me discourage you from aftermarket wheels, that wasn't my intention. There are some cheap aftermarkets, but there some aftermarkets are far superior to any factory/OEM wheel. It's just that wheels aren't a one-size fits all. There are technical factors involved, as I mentioned, that you must pay attention to when selecting after-markets. The SS wheels are simple because you know they are the right pattern, offset, size, etc, and that they will fit no problem. There are plenty of after-markets that will fit too, you just have to make sure you are getting the right ones, that's all. It's up to you bro...

Sorry bro...don't know where the confusion came in. The SS wheels, whether OEM or factory reproductions are a direct fit WHEEL. There are various size TIRES you can put on that WHEEL. After-market WHEELs is where you need to worry about lug pattern and offset. On an after-market WHEEL there will also be various size TIRES that will fit each different WHEEL. A WHEEL doesn't call for a certain tire, the vehicle it's going on is what determines what size TIRE the WHEEL will require.
I know this is somewhat confusing if you're not grasping the concept, so hopefully you are getting it.
