Truck Wheel Size
Looking at some new trucks and have the option of 17", 18" or 20" wheels. Any reason to go with one over the other? I think the 17" might do a little better off-road as the tire would have more flex...

You didn't pick the wheels you wanted? It isn't hard to find manufacturer weight ratings on wheels. It is important, though, because some 18" wheels are rated lower than the 3640 lbs on the tires.
I agree with all the comments saying 18" is ideal on the newer HD models. 17" aren't rated as well and 20" are more expensive and have a more limited selection.
Nope. In fact, I didn't even see them until they pulled the truck around when they were finished. I didn't care too much what they looked like as long they met or exceeded the load rating, somethign that I didn't have to clean all the time, and did not scream "I am a 17 year old with white Oakley's driving a pavement queen". I believe those were my exact words to him. They ended up being black MB 352's and look pretty good on the truck while meeting my requirements so I was happy.
Not a bad outcome I guess although the fake beadlocks have always been a bit of a pet peeve of mine on a lot of truck wheels.
