20" aftermarket wheel opinions...

[ajb1205]

Long story short, I just had brand new tires installed on my factory 20" rims (also have another factory set with snow tires that came with my black 08 Tahoe LTZ when I bought it) and since it was a deal I could not turn down I would now like some aftermarket wheels. I have a couple reasons for staying with 20s rather than 22 or 24s...ride quality, price (22" tires are super expensive in Canada) and the local roads are horrible when it comes to pot holes, etc. I think I have narrowed it down to a couple different styles but I still go back to chrome KMC Slides or U2 55s. Does anyone have some pics of 20s installed as all I can find is 22 and 24" pics. I am concerned that they are going to look too small...???

Well, personally I think slides in 20" are going to look a little small, but I don't have any pictures either to be able to tell. For what it's worth I went from factory 18s to factory 22s and haven't noticed a difference either in ride quality or experienced any damage issues due to potholes. And chrome 22" slides are really beautiful imo.

However if you are set on 20s, have a look at the tbss reps ... I think they are by far the best looking 20s on these trucks.

Both those TBSS 20/22's are S I C K

Those are nice...not making my decision any easier, though. What offset should I be getting...13mm...30mm...???

Here is my 2 cents

I saw a set of 20" slides on a truck and the only reason they looked ok was because they were black and on a lifted truck with bigger tires.

As far as aftermarket wheels on a NNBS you have to get atleast a 22" and the TBSS look good on these truck but a 20 will still be too small. The only 20s that look good are the OE Tahoe and Silverado wheels.

So this...



is about as good as it gets? That's fine because that's a current picture of my Tahoe. I then have the stock LTZ rims with winter tires for when the snow flies.

I just don't want to spend all that $$$ to be disappointed.

Thanks for the info, guys.

IMO the GMC 20's you have pictured look pretty good

 

[fire730]

I think it looks good like it is except for the jacked up rear. The factory rear wheel gap sucks. Level out the back and you will be good.

Aftermarket 20s would look dinky next to those OE 20s.

Here's my truck on the 20" Silverado SS Rims on 275/55/20's. They are for sale and I was gonna list 'em in the for sale section, but I don't have 80 posts yet.

Mmm, I thought TBSS reps were 6 spoke?
