Now, it's just mind boggling with all the choices.
I LOVE my cheap rallys. They may not look as hot as $3000 set of rims, but I saved 2500 dollars, and have a look that is all GM. Rallys are going to be around forever, and will look great forever. Bling styles and taste change to fast to justify spending money that will not be stylin next year.
Remember the 90's with all the billet this and that. Sorry folks, but I look at those types of rims and want to puke.
Where are all those rims now? Out of style. Where are the rallys? On our trucks. jmo

I actually agree with both of you guys... money isn't necessarily a hard thing to come by, but.... I don't want it going down the drain.

If I would choose to run a set of 20's... it will be done tastefully and with a classic look yet a modern twist.

Then again... you only live once, do what you like and enjoy it!

I've always dreaded the wheel choice issue....
