Interested in replacing my current wheels with something sharper/meaner/more aggressive. I have a black '09 SLT Crew Cab with 20" aluminum wheels. Correct me if I'm wrong but the bolt pattern for these wheels is 5-5.5" (5-139.7mm)
1.) Is this the only possible size that would fit my truck?
2.) Should I only shop for rims this size?
3.) Does anyone know any good websites to purchase new rims or should I just stick to the local Discount Tire/Belle Tire stores?
I would like to get rims with a Black & Chrome finish...I attached pictures of what my truck currently looks like and also what rims I've been interested in replacing my current ones with.
Suggestions & comments are welcome! Thanks!
P.S. Since this picture, I have added the chrome body side moldings and replaced my current grille with the honeycombe grille.

Yeah, I love all of those rims...unfortunately, I'm not sure if they make all of them in a size that would fit our 2009 rams. Also, I'm hesitant in getting rims b/c I've heard that the ride quality can be affected in a negative way.

They make the Alloy Ion wheels in a 5x5.5 (20x9) with a 15 offset and 87 hub bore. Not really familiar with offset and hub bore and what effects they might have, but these are probably my first choice right now

You'll be fine with that size. I run 8.5x20's +15. Hub-centric adapters are critical as 87 bore is larger than stock (78.03mm).
Note: Wheels with simulated fasteners are prone to corrosion issues.
Got these wheels installed $225 OTD with the trade on my silver 20's. Forte' F15 Miami, gloss black/mirror machined, cleared, alloy center cap (outstanding quality/finish).
www.mrwheeldeal.com will beat any deal.

Ride quality is going to depend on the tire. I am looking at keeping my stock tires so in my case it won't really be affected. You will lose if you are planning to go any bigger than 20's most likely.

unfortunately they dont make the Lorenzo rims (Rim #3) in a size that would fit the 09 Ram...or so I've found so far. Too bad b/c they would go great especially on a black Ram. Thanks everyone for your opinions and tips...greatly appreciated

id go with number 3 and get em large enough to fill out the wheel well.
