Dynamic Wheel Co. has American trucks covered with an extensive wheel range

The best thing about American pickup trucks is all in the name: They are American.

Being American means they are on the doorstep of the greatest and grandest aftermarket industry on the planet, and if you can’t find the parts or accessories you want for your full-size pickup truck in the USA, then they haven’t been invented yet.

Nowhere is this huge range of customisation more on show than in the colossal range of wheels available for pickup trucks. If you want 30-inch pink chrome wheels with spinning hubcaps for your Chevy truck, then there will be a shop somewhere with a set on the shelf just waiting for you.

Maybe a set of military-style, heavy-duty wheels is more your cup of Joe, or something with a vintage hot-rodding flavour floats your boat. There are wheels out there for you and your truck.

Short of venturing Stateside to source the wheels for your full-size pickup truck, Dynamic Wheel Co. (↗) has a huge range of wheel choices right here in Australia to suit all the major truck brands and all the popular four-wheel-drive vehicles.

Leading brands available from Dynamic Wheel Co. include Dirty Life, DWC, Raceline, Icon Alloys, Lock Offroad, Mayhem and Dynamic steel wheels, among others. They are available in diameters from 17 to 20 inches – and bigger if that’s your thing – and in a wide range of styles and finishes to suit your taste, all ready to fit your off-road tyres of choice.

As with any 4×4, replacement wheels for 1500-class pickup trucks need the correct fitment and load rating. GVM upgrades are popular for these trucks, and when choosing replacement wheels for your rig, you need to ensure their load ratings meet the requirements of the vehicle and any GVM upgrade.

This becomes more of an issue when you get into the heavy-duty 2500- and 3500-class trucks, with their higher load and towing capacities. Most of these HD trucks use eight-lug wheel fitments.

The 1500-class trucks tested here all use conventional six-lug wheels, so there are literally thousands of wheel options available for them, and Dynamic Wheel Co. (↗) has you covered.

While Dynamic Wheel Co. recommends 18-inch alloy wheels for full-size trucks fitted with tyres 35 inches or taller, larger-diameter rims can also work with tall tyres, provided the wheel-and-tyre package suits the vehicle and its suspension setup. A 20-inch wheel paired with a 37-inch tyre, for example, still leaves a decent amount of tyre sidewall, although clearance and fitment need to be checked.

If you’re not sure what you’re after, check out the massive selection on the Dynamic Wheel Co. website (↗) and talk with the team about what you want and what you need. They can help you choose a wheel package that not only looks killer on the truck but performs exceptionally as well.
