Okay guys.... Its official.... I ordered wheels. Tell me what you think.

I could not afford Giovannas, but could not bear my 17s any longer either, plus it is time to get new tires.

I used what I learned here to make my decision, Black wheels look small (to afford the same effect) and Lip makes the wheels look small.

So I went with a wheel that the spokes run to the edge. They have a PVD finish so I can run them year round, and since I live in NC that should not be a problem. It was this or Cadillac Reps. in PVD, and since everyone has those stock, I thought these would be at least a little different. They are American Racing 840 wheels.

I can see the pic just fine.

Those look nice. I like the idea of a 7-spoke rim on these trucks.

Am I missing what size you ordered?

Sorry to disappoint but I only had balls for a 20 Inch. The extra money for the 22's was not a problem, but I was concerned about my MPG going down too much. I am driving 30,000 miles a year and get 18 MPG and also I wanted somewhat of a cushy ride.

It's all about what you like. I get amazing prices and picked 20" because I like the look better than 22" on my truck. I went with the enkei st6 with the macined finish. Living close to the coast is tough on wheels even when you keep it clean. I'm sure you will post pics when there on. Looking forward to seeing them

Those are nice! I'm going to add them to my list of potentials.

I keep going back to the U2-55. It doesn't seem like that lip effects the look of the size.

@ Donovan I Really liked the ST6s' and still really do, I love the clean lip. They were on my short list for a long time, and I even started a thread about them in a poll. In the end though I thought I would go lipless since it is only a 20.

Hey guys recommend some tires will ya......
