As far as looks go I enjoy my truck and boat a lot. However the trailer wheels just don't look right to me for my set up (blacked out truck, black boat). I've seen other brands of boats do 18" or even 20" wheels with low profile tires. Has anybody done this on their yamaha? At minimum I'll plastidip them black but I'm not opposed to getting some larger wheels. Maybe even match my truck wheels, but smaller (22s on the truck). I did some measuring and I think it's doable.20150212_131841.jpg

Unless you're really itchin to match perfectly, I think I'd just plasti dip them and leave it. They will look a lot like the truck by just being black.

Larger wheels will reduce the effective suspension of the sidewall of the tires. Your boat would have a rougher ride and you would be at a much greater risk for damaging a tire or wheel.
